I really love how simple and colorful this succotash is, especially since it brings so much fresh flavor to the table. It is one of those humble recipes that has stood the test of time, and it is a wonderful way to get more hearty vegetables onto your plate.

My favorite way to make this is entirely vegetarian, focusing on a savory seasoning blend that really makes the corn and beans shine. It is a very flexible dish, so feel free to toss in whatever seasonal vegetables you have in your fridge.

Ingredients

  • 2 cups corn kernels, fresh or frozen
  • 1 1/2 cups lima beans, fresh or frozen
  • 1 red bell pepper, diced
  • 1 small yellow onion, diced
  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried sage
  • 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • Salt and black pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. 1

    Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.

  2. 2

    Add the onion and red bell pepper to the skillet, then sauté for about 5 minutes until they begin to soften.

  3. 3

    Stir in the corn and lima beans, cooking for another 5 to 7 minutes until the beans are tender.

  4. 4

    Add the cherry tomatoes, garlic powder, smoked paprika, and sage to the pan.

  5. 5

    Continue cooking for 2 to 3 minutes until the tomatoes are just starting to soften but still hold their shape.

  6. 6

    Remove the pan from the heat, season with salt and pepper to your preference, and sprinkle with fresh parsley before serving.

💡 Tips

You can store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. To reheat, simply warm the mixture in a skillet over medium low heat. It is a fantastic side for grilled salmon, baked cod, or even just served over a bowl of fluffy quinoa.
