Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Classic Succotash.
Step 1
Begin by melting half a cup of butter in a large saucepan over medium heat, allowing it to create a rich base.
Step 2
Once the butter is bubbling, introduce the lima beans along with a pinch of salt, and let them simmer until they reach a tender perfection, which should take about 20 minutes.
Step 3
Meanwhile, in a separate saucepan, melt the remaining half cup of butter.
Step 4
As it warms, stir in the chopped tomatoes and a sprinkle of sugar, cooking them until they soften and release their juices, roughly 20 minutes.
Step 5
When the tomatoes are beautifully tender, merge them with the cooked lima beans in the first saucepan.
Step 6
To elevate the dish, fold in the corn kernels and continue to cook for an additional 10 minutes, stirring occasionally to ensure even flavor distribution.
Step 7
Enjoy the delightful medley of flavors that come together in this comforting dish.
