Succotash With Fresh Lima Beans And Corn Recipe

Traditional succotash is made with corn, lima beans (or butter beans), cream or milk, and simple seasonings. The word "Succotash" Comes from an indigenous tribe, the narragansett, which refers to a stew with corn. Even though the dish originated in the northeast, it is far more popular in the south than in other regions. Feel free to use frozen vegetables in this recipe if that's what you have on hand, or use half-and-half instead of cream for a lighter dish. Serve succotash with southern fried chicken or catfish, ham, or pork chops.
