Have you ever made succotash?

I hadn't but the name was just so fun to say that I wanted to try it.

Ingredients:

2 ears of corn, cut off the cob

1 plum tomato

1/2 bag of frozen edamame (substituted for lima beans)

1/4 yellow onion

Extra Virgin Olive Oil

Salt & Pepper

Roasted Red Pepper

bit of Sugar

I sauteed my onion in olive oil with salt and pepper.

Added the edamame and corn and let it sizzle a while.

Then I added the tomato.

more salt and pepper, plus the roasted red pepper.

Then I tasted it and it was quite tangy from the pepper so I added a little sugar.

I served the succotash with Chris' leftover Mackerel that I had frozen. The sturdy white fish paired really nicely with the strong flavors of the red pepper. It was a very quick dinner, so quick I forgot to take a picture. Sorry, it was pretty too with all the colors. This picture is from the internet but looks similar to mine.
