Corn Fava Bean And Cucumber Succotash Recipes

Steps:

• In a medium size skillet, heat up the olive oil on high heat and sear the scallops for approximately 2 minutes on each side. Set aside and keep warm.
• Using a sharp knife cut the corn kernels off of the cob and put through a vegetable juicer. Place the corn juice into a small saucepot and bring to a simmer. Cook the corn sauce until it starts to thicken. Set aside and keep warm.
• Heat the grapeseed oil in a large saute pan over medium high heat. Add the shallots and saute until they begin to soften, about 3 minutes. Add the mushrooms and saute for 4 minutes. Add the remaining vegetables and saute until heated through, about 3 minutes. Transfer the Sauteed vegetables into a medium-size mixing bowl and toss with the warmed sweet corn sauce and chervil. Season with salt and pepper.
• To serve, place the succotash in the center of the plate, top with a few seared scallops, and drizzle some of the corn sauce around the plate.

Steps:

• Cook fava beans in large saucepan of boiling salted water until just tender, about 5 minutes. Using slotted spoon, transfer fava beans to medium bowl. Add diced carrots to same saucepan of boiling water; cook until carrots are tender, about 4 minutes. Drain and transfer carrots to small bowl.
• Heat oil in heavy large skillet over medium-high heat. Add chopped onion, diced zucchini, diced bell pepper, pressed garlic cloves, and minced fresh thyme. Sauté until beginning to soften, about 3 minutes. Add corn, diced cucumber, and reserved carrots; stir 1 minute. Add beans, unsweetened coconut milk, cayenne pepper, and freshly grated nutmeg. Stir until heated through, about 1 minute. Season succotash to taste with salt and pepper.

Steps:

• Set a strainer or colander over a bowl and drain beans. Set broth aside to use for moistening the succotash.
• Heat olive oil in a large, heavy skillet over medium heat and add onion. Cook, stirring, until it begins to soften, about 3 minutes, and add squash and salt to taste. Cook, stirring, until squash begins to soften and look translucent, 3 or 4 minutes. Add garlic and corn. Cook for about 4 minutes, stirring often. Add minced chile pepper and season with salt and pepper. Add beans and about 1/2 cup bean broth and continue to cook, stirring, for another minute or two. Taste and adjust seasonings. If you want this to be a little more moist, stir in more bean broth, or just hold the bean broth and spoon directly over the bowls. Stir in cilantro and remove from heat.
• Spoon grain of your choice into 6 wide or deep bowls. Top with the succotash. Moisten with more bean broth. Sprinkle queso fresco or feta on top, garnish with cilantro, and serve.

Steps:

• Blanch the fava beans in boiling water for 3 minutes. Drain well. When the beans are cool enough to handle, remove their skins. Set the beans aside.
• Heat the canola oil in a large skillet over low heat. Add the onion and cook until transparent but not brown, about 5 minutes.
• Raise the heat to medium and add the cucumber. Season lightly with salt and pepper. Cook until the cucumber is tender, about 6 minutes. If the onion begins to brown, add a tablespoon or two of water and continue cooking.
• Add the corn and cook 1 to 2 minutes. Add the fava beans and bell pepper. Season and cook 2 minutes more, until tender. Stir in the tarragon and serve.
