Barbecue Succotash Recipes

BEST-EVER SUCCOTASH

Steps:

• Place lima beans in a medium saucepan, and add water to cover. Bring to a boil over medium-high. Reduce to medium-low, and simmer until beans are just tender, 8 to 10 minutes. Drain and set aside.
• While beans simmer, place bacon slices in a large cast-iron skillet over medium. Cook until crisp, about 8 minutes, turning once after 5 minutes. Transfer bacon to paper towels; crumble and set aside. Reserve drippings in skillet.
• Add chopped onion, fresh okra, and garlic to skillet over medium, and cook, stirring often, until onion is just tender, about 6 minutes. Stir in fresh corn kernels, salt, pepper, and drained beans, and cook, stirring often, until corn is tender and bright yellow, 5 to 6 minutes. Add butter, and cook, stirring constantly, until butter is melted, about 1 minute. Remove from heat.
• Stir in halved cherry tomatoes and sliced basil; sprinkle with crumbled bacon, and serve immediately.

BARBECUE CHICKEN WITH SUCCOTASH

Steps:

• Position a rack in the upper third of the oven; preheat to 425 degrees F. Season the chicken with salt and pepper and place on a foil-lined rimmed baking sheet. Roast until the skin is golden and crisp, about 30 minutes.
• Meanwhile, make the barbecue sauce: Combine the cider, ketchup, Worcestershire sauce and 1 tablespoon mustard in a small saucepan. Bring to a simmer over medium heat and cook, stirring, until slightly thickened, about 15 minutes.
• Melt the butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the scallion whites, bell pepper, 1/2 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper. Cook, stirring, until the vegetables soften slightly, about 5 minutes. Add 1/4 cup water, the corn, lima beans and the remaining 1 teaspoon mustard. Bring to a simmer and continue cooking until the vegetables are tender, about 10 minutes. Stir in the scallion greens.
• Turn on the broiler. Brush the chicken with the prepared barbecue sauce and broil until the sauce is thick and bubbling, about 3 minutes. Serve with the succotash.

GRILLED SUMMER SUCCOTASH

Steps:

• Prepare a grill for medium-high heat.
• Mix the tomatoes, corn, lima beans, butter and shallot together in a medium bowl. Season with 1 1/2 teaspoons salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper.
• Tear off four 12- by 18-inch pieces of heavy duty aluminum foil. Put 1/4 cup of the basil leaves in the center of each piece of foil. Evenly divide the vegetable mixture (about 1 1/4 cup each) over the basil. Carefully fold each foil piece into a packet, bringing up the sides and double folding the top and ends to seal.
• Grill the packets until the tomatoes begin to soften, about 12 minutes. Chop the remaining 1/2 cup basil. Place a packet on each plate, carefully open the foil and serve sprinkled with chopped basil.

FOIL-PACKET BARBECUE PORK CHOPS WITH SUCCOTASH

Steps:

• Preheat a grill to medium high. Lay out four 12-by-18-inch sheets of heavy-duty foil. Season the pork chops on both sides with salt and pepper. Whisk the barbecue sauce and hot pepper jelly in a small bowl. Remove 1/3 cup of the sauce to a separate bowl and brush all over the pork chops; reserve the remaining sauce.
• Mix the lima beans, corn, hominy, scallion whites, thyme and melted butter in a large bowl. Season with salt and pepper.
• Divide the vegetable mixture among the foil sheets, mounding it slightly. Top each mound with a pork chop. Bring the 2 short ends of the foil together and fold twice to seal; fold in the sides to form a packet.
• Grill the packets pork-side down, 6 minutes. Flip and cook 2 more minutes. Meanwhile, heat the reserved sauce in a small saucepan or in the microwave.
• Carefully open the packets and spoon some of the sauce on the pork chops; sprinkle with the scallion greens. Serve with the remaining sauce.

BARBECUED CORN SUCCOTASH

Steps:

• Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Heat the oil and add the bacon. Cook until crisp, 2 to 3 minutes, and then add corn, letting the sugars develop and caramelize at the edges. Add the garlic, onions, bell peppers and jalapenos, and cook 2 to 3 minutes to soften. Add the stock, sugar, vinegar, Worcestershire and tomato sauce. Simmer to thicken the sauce, then add the edamame and stir in Sriracha to taste. Reduce the heat to low until ready to serve, adding a little more stock or water if the dish gets too thick. Garnish with scallions to serve.

SUCCOTASH WITH SAUSAGE AND SHRIMP

Steps:

• Heat oven to 425 degrees. Meanwhile, bring 1 cup water to a boil in a medium saucepan. Once boiling, add the butter beans and return to a boil. Reduce the heat and simmer, covered, until the beans are al dente, about 8 minutes. Remove from heat, strain, and sprinkle with 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt. Set aside.
• While the butter beans are cooking, prepare the okra: Spread the okra in an even layer on a lined baking sheet. Drizzle with 1 teaspoon olive oil, and sprinkle with 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt. Roast the okra for 16 to 18 minutes. Remove from the oven and set aside.
• Heat a large cast-iron skillet or Dutch oven over medium. Add the Andouille sausage and cook until it's crisp and the fat has rendered. Remove the sausage with a slotted spoon and set aside.
• Add the onion, bell pepper and garlic to the rendered fat in the skillet or Dutch oven, and cook until the vegetables are softened, about 5 minutes.
• Add the corn, tomatoes, lima beans, okra, 1 teaspoon kosher salt, 1/2 teaspoon black pepper and Andouille sausage. Stir, cover, and cook for about 8 minutes over medium heat.
• As vegetables cook, pat the shrimp dry with paper towels, then generously season with 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper.
• In a separate large (12-inch) skillet, heat the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium-high. Once the oil is shimmering, add the shrimp in a single layer. Cook for 2 minutes, then flip and cook for another 2 to 3 minutes, until pink and cooked through. Stir the cooked shrimp into the succotash.
• Add the fresh basil and stir. Taste, and adjust seasoning as needed. Turn off heat and let sit uncovered for about 5 minutes to let the flavors meld. Serve warm.
