What Is Succotash?

When fresh corn is in season we’re at the farm stand at least once a week. Where we live there’s lots of places to choose from, but the one that we like getting corn from is about 15 minutes from our house.

If you leave corn in it’s husks and keep it in the fridge it’ll keep fresh for about a week, so stock up when you go! And if you have any leftover corn, just whip up some of this Sweet Corn Succotash.

Succotash is typically a side dish recipe that uses sweet corn and lima beans. But no one in my family really likes lima beans so they we didn’t use them in this succotash recipe.

This vegetable side dish recipe works if your corn is uncooked or cooked, frozen or fresh. Obviously you’ll have to give it a few extra minutes in the pan if it’s not cooked but it all works out the same.

How Do You Make Corn Succotash?

If you are using fresh corn on the cob, start by cutting the kernels off the cob. Place the corn cob into a large bowl so the kernels don’t fly all over your kitchen.

If you are using frozen, canned or leftover corn just proceed to the next step of the recipe.

Next melt butter in a large skillet and add onions peppers and a few seasonings. Once the vegetables have softened you can add in the cream and fresh basil.

Adjust the seasonings if needed and serve.
