Steps:
- Place lima beans in a medium saucepan, and add water to cover. Bring to a boil over medium-high. Reduce to medium-low, and simmer until beans are just tender, 8 to 10 minutes. Drain and set aside.
- While beans simmer, place bacon slices in a large cast-iron skillet over medium. Cook until crisp, about 8 minutes, turning once after 5 minutes. Transfer bacon to paper towels; crumble and set aside. Reserve drippings in skillet.
- Add chopped onion, fresh okra, and garlic to skillet over medium, and cook, stirring often, until onion is just tender, about 6 minutes. Stir in fresh corn kernels, salt, pepper, and drained beans, and cook, stirring often, until corn is tender and bright yellow, 5 to 6 minutes. Add butter, and cook, stirring constantly, until butter is melted, about 1 minute. Remove from heat.
- Stir in halved cherry tomatoes and sliced basil; sprinkle with crumbled bacon, and serve immediately.
CREOLE SUCCOTASH FROM 'TREME'
The succotash I grew up eating was a simple side dish of lima beans, corn, onion, black pepper, and a big hunk of butter. But despite my familiarity with the basic version, I am open to different interpretations of the dish (as long as it still contains butter, corn, and limas, of course). This creole succotash from the Treme cookbook is kind of like a tricked out version of the classic. In addition to the requisite vegetables, you'll find okra, celery, bell pepper, shrimp, and two kinds of pork.

Steps:
- In a large heavy-bottomed saucepan or Dutch oven over medium heat, melt the butter. Add the tomatoes, onion, bell pepper, and celery and stir to coat well in the fat. Cook, uncovered, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are tender, 10 to 15 minutes.
- Stir in the okra, lima beans, corn, sausage, ham, bay leaves, and thyme. Cook, still uncovered, until vegetables are soft, about 1 hour, stirring occasionally. If the mixture seems dry toward the end of the cooking time, stir in water to moisten, a little at a time, then cover the pan and continue cooking.
- Reduce the heat to low and stir in the shrimp. Cook, stirring often, until the shrimp are cooked through and the flavors have blended, about 15 minutes longer. Remove from the heat. Mound the rice on large plates, spoon the succotash over the rice, and serve at once.

Steps:
- Heat a large cast-iron skillet over medium heat and coat the bottom with oil. Add the sausages and fry until browned on all sides and cooked through, about 10 minutes. Transfer to a cutting board, reserving the pan. Thinly slice when cool enough to handle, then set aside.
- Pour out and discard most of the grease in the pan, but leave behind any bits. Add enough oil to thoroughly coat the bottom. Add the celery, onions and bell peppers and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened, about 10 minutes. Add the garlic and cook, stirring frequently, until fragrant, 1 minute.
- Stir in the black-eyed peas, corn, fava beans, lima beans, butter, 2 teaspoons salt and 1 teaspoon pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until heated through, about 10 minutes.
- Add the sausage back to the skillet and cook until heated through. Add the tomatoes, lemon juice, zest and parsley. Serve warm.
MOM'S SAUSAGE SUCCOTASH
Not sure if there are any okra fans out here, but I LOVE the stuff. Growing up in the South, there was always okra around when the garden started producing, and this was a favorite of mine!! This is my Mom's Sausage Succotash, made healthier with turkey sausage. I sometimes swap out veggies, like a poblano for the green pepper, but usually I add what is listed. I also make a vegetarian version I will post as well.

Tips:
- Use fresh vegetables: Fresh vegetables will give your succotash the best flavor. If you can, try to use vegetables that are in season.
- Don't overcook the vegetables: The vegetables in succotash should be cooked until they are tender-crisp. If you overcook them, they will become mushy and lose their flavor.
- Season the succotash to taste: Add salt, pepper, and other seasonings to taste. You may also want to add a bit of hot sauce or cayenne pepper for a little spice.
- Serve the succotash immediately: Succotash is best when it is served immediately. However, you can also make it ahead of time and reheat it gently before serving.
Conclusion:
Succotash is a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed all summer long. It is a great way to use up fresh vegetables from your garden or the farmers market. And it is also a great dish to serve at potlucks and picnics. So next time you are looking for a quick and easy summer dish, give succotash a try.
