Succotash

Jennifer Allen
Every time I make Succotash, it takes me back to hot summer days and big family dinners out on the porch. There’s something Southern about a skillet full of fresh vegetables, all sizzling together in butter and seasoned just right. This version is full of color and flavor: corn, lima beans, green beans, and cherry tomatoes cooked until tender and tossed in smoky seasoning.
