Succotash Side Dish Secret

What’s a succotash? It’s a simple dish consisting of sweet corn, lima beans (or shell bean) and it’s frankly the fastest and simplest side dish to whip up in a flash. Once you assemble your ingredients it’s your one-pot ticket to a colorful, flavorful and nourishing side dish. Succotash marries well with a simple grilled chicken or if you’re feeding a crowd try my halibut dish to compliment.

There are so many fun ways you can play with the base of this: use different colored peppers, accent with spice combinations or add other vegetables. The secret to this dish being blow-your-socks-off special is to really caramelize your onions as it provides a great base for whatever you add afterward. Season well and enjoy.
