Up until a few weeks ago I had never had succostash! I feel very sad about that because I have missed a lifetime of eating this amazing side dish! Luckily I found it and it is very easy to make and a nice change of pace for a side dish.

SUCCOTASH is a type of dish made from corn and lima beans. The word “succotash” is derived from the Narragansett word sohquttahhash, which means “broken corn kernels”.

Traditionally, succotash is made with fresh or frozen lima beans and sweetcorn, and seasoned with salt and pepper. However, there are many variations of succotash that include other vegetables such as green beans, broccoli, Brussels sprouts, cabbage, cauliflower, celery, and peas. In addition to these vegetables, succotash can also be made with meat such as bacon, ham, or sausage.

You can make this using a normal pan or even a slow cooker or pressure cooker but my favorite way is my cast iron skillet. I found you can easily make this alongside just about any meat on the grill. Perfect side dish!

So without any further ado here’s how to make succotash!
