Just what is succotash? Actually it is leftover veggies, that is how my Mother explained to me! 🙂
It always includes corn and lima beans….and other veggies. I have added a few fresh spices and red bell pepper and onion, but my Mother never did. She just mixed the vegetables and served. If we had company, she would open up a can or two of whatever vegetable she had on hand and it stretched the dish to serve more people.
If you have not eaten succotash, you must try it. Very good! You can use fresh corn on the cob, peas or green beans. Really tasty!
