Edamame & Corn Succotash
A fresh & healthy one-pan summer vegetable recipe full of red pepper, green beans, corn, edamame, and tons of fresh herbs. Vegan and gluten free.
summer / vegan / gluten freeI’ve gone on about my love of midwestern corn before. Sweet, juicy, crunchy… the quintessential taste of summer. I’m in Chicago visiting my family this week, and that corn is every bit as good as I remembered. Salt, a little bit of butter, that’s it.
I made this succotash a few weeks ago at home with what I call “pretty-good” local Texas corn. It’s the kind of that I don’t feel guilty mixing with other things… crunchy colorful vegetables, spicy jalapeños, and some bright herbs. I love a succotash that is rich and creamy, but to keep this on the lighter side I splashed in just a bit of coconut milk.
Serve this room temperature by itself or as a side dish. We managed to have a tiny bit leftover, and it was absolutely delicious cold the next day.
