This recipe comes from my Bobby Flay Cooks American cookbook. It's a delicious succotash that makes for a great side. I sometimes eat it for lunch or as an appetizer, too! Enjoy!

How To Make succotash

  • 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!
