Microwave Succotash Recipes

Steps:

• In a large pot, bring the water to a boil. Add lima beans, salt and sugar. Cook over medium-low heat for 15 minutes. Add the corn and green chilies, cover, and continue cooking until the beans are tender, about 5 more minutes. Drain and serve immediately. Top with butter if desired.

Steps:

• In a Dutch oven or large saucepan, simmer ham hock in water until tender, 1-1/2 hours. Cool; remove meat from the bone and return to pan. (Discard bone and broth or save for another use.) Add the tomatoes, beans, peas, corn, green pepper, onion, ketchup and seasonings. Simmer, uncovered, for 45 minutes. Add okra; simmer, uncovered, until tender, 15 minutes. Discard bay leaf before serving. Garnish with dill and chives, if desired.

Steps:

• In a medium casserole dish combine all ingredients except cilantro.
• Cover and microwave on high 8-10 minutes.
• Top with cilantro before serving.

Steps:

• Place the lima beans in a covered glass dish with the 1/3 cup water and microwave for 2 minutes.
• Stir in the corn, re-cover, and microwave for 5 more minutes.
• Drain off water and stir in butter. Season, to taste, with Creole seasoning.

Steps:

• Heat oven to 425 degrees. Meanwhile, bring 1 cup water to a boil in a medium saucepan. Once boiling, add the butter beans and return to a boil. Reduce the heat and simmer, covered, until the beans are al dente, about 8 minutes. Remove from heat, strain, and sprinkle with 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt. Set aside.
• While the butter beans are cooking, prepare the okra: Spread the okra in an even layer on a lined baking sheet. Drizzle with 1 teaspoon olive oil, and sprinkle with 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt. Roast the okra for 16 to 18 minutes. Remove from the oven and set aside.
• Heat a large cast-iron skillet or Dutch oven over medium. Add the Andouille sausage and cook until it's crisp and the fat has rendered. Remove the sausage with a slotted spoon and set aside.
• Add the onion, bell pepper and garlic to the rendered fat in the skillet or Dutch oven, and cook until the vegetables are softened, about 5 minutes.
• Add the corn, tomatoes, lima beans, okra, 1 teaspoon kosher salt, 1/2 teaspoon black pepper and Andouille sausage. Stir, cover, and cook for about 8 minutes over medium heat.
• As vegetables cook, pat the shrimp dry with paper towels, then generously season with 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper.
• In a separate large (12-inch) skillet, heat the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium-high. Once the oil is shimmering, add the shrimp in a single layer. Cook for 2 minutes, then flip and cook for another 2 to 3 minutes, until pink and cooked through. Stir the cooked shrimp into the succotash.
• Add the fresh basil and stir. Taste, and adjust seasoning as needed. Turn off heat and let sit uncovered for about 5 minutes to let the flavors meld. Serve warm.

Steps:

• 1. Beans: Cook the beans by putting them into a large pot with the butter and salt, covering it with water. Put a lid on the pot and bring it to a boil. Cook them over med-high heat for about 8-10 minutes, or until tender. Drain the beans in a colander set over a bowl so you can reserve 1 cup of the cooking liquid.
• 2. Succotash: Melt the butter in a saucepan over med-high heat and add the onions and pepper - cook, stirring, until they're soft - approx. 8-10 min.
• 3. Add the garlic and cook for approx. 1 minute. Add the corn and the reserved cooking liquid and cook until the corn is tender and all of the cooking liquid has evaporated.
• 4. Stir in the cooked beans, cream, and hot sauce (to taste), and cook until the mixture has absorbed some of the cream and the sauce gets thick. Season with salt and pepper to taste and stir in the parsley. Enjoy!
