Sweet Corn succotash with edamame. With fresh sweet corn, sweet red bell pepper, rice wine vinegar, and basil, this is “sufferin’ succotash’ delicious.
If you’re a member of my generation, you grew up watching animated cartoons created in the 50’s and 60’s, and you’re either a Disney fan or a Warner Bros. fan. I happen to be a die-hard Warner Bros. Looney Toons fan. I love watching large Acme products fall from the sky and crush Wile E. Coyote, and Yosemite Sam transporting himself in mid-air to get in front of his mule then beat it over the head with a club to get it to stop running. “Whoa I said…WHOA!”
And who can forget Elmer Fudd telling us “Shhh. Be vewy vewy quiet, I’m hunting wabbits,” then blasting his gun at a smug Bugs Bunny. But it wasn’t all about violence, remember Foghorn Leghorn, our endearing original Family Guy. I loved that rooster and his nemesis the barn yard dog. So you probably know where I’m going with this. That’s right, I can’t think about succotash without a visual of Sylvester the Cat spitting out the words “sufferin’ succotash”. I’m sure we all have our favorite Looney Toons memories.
I think I’ve made succotash, the lima bean version once in my life. I liked it, but it’s not one of those things that’s on my radar, or my “go-to” side dish. Now that it’s Summer, and grilling simply seasoned meats are a breeze, I’m focusing more on side dishes.
With sweet bell pepper, rice wine vinegar and basil, this corn succotash with edamame version is “sufferin’ succotash” good. I think it would be good with grilled shrimp on top. This one is compliments of Eating Well. Let’s take a look.

June 12, 2013 at 8:24 amI like the bright green of the edamame compared to the dull green of limas even though I do like them.
Lea Ann says
June 12, 2013 at 1:49 pmVery good point Karen. And yes, I like Limas too.

June 12, 2013 at 8:43 amSylvester and Tweety were my favorites! And, I’m loving the fresh corn we’ve been getting from our CSA. Edamame instead of lima beans sounds great!
Lea Ann says
June 12, 2013 at 1:48 pmI think their cartoons are genius. All of them. I loved the texture and color in this. Thanks Lisa.

Lea Ann says
June 12, 2013 at 1:47 pmKaren, you should try this recipe. I love the vinegar in this. Don’t know if all succotash recipes have vinegar.

June 13, 2013 at 7:31 amI still enjoy a road runner cartoon. The succotash looks very good but I’ve yet to even try edamame. Perhaps this is the dish to break out on. We’re closing up to head home after 10 days in the western NC mountains.
Lea Ann says
June 14, 2013 at 7:57 amMe too Larry. I’ll never forget the first roadrunner I saw in real life. I made it run to see if it would Beep..Beep and run fast. It ran fast without the sound effects. š

June 13, 2013 at 7:33 amMy mom made succotash all the time when I was growing up and I never liked it. I think it was the lima beans that turned me off. I’m always looking for good sides too and your version sounds delicious, Lea Ann. Gonna give it a try at the next barbecue.
Lea Ann says
June 14, 2013 at 7:58 amMy mom didn’t make succotash, but she did serve lima beans and of course I turned my nose up. Poor lima beans…..
Vickie says
June 13, 2013 at 8:44 amNice looking and I love the seasoning in this. I’m crazy about herbs these days (especially flat parsley) and edamame is so good! This one is definitely on the must try list.
Thufferin Thucotash!

June 14, 2013 at 7:59 amThanks Vic … let me know what you think.
Karen Harris says
June 13, 2013 at 1:01 pmThis recipe reminds me of my dad. He loved succotash. In fact he loved anything with beans and corn. I’m with him, there’s nothing like simple down home comfort food.
Lea Ann says
June 14, 2013 at 7:59 amI love how food brings back memories.
Susan says
June 14, 2013 at 8:10 pmThe Road Runner was my favorite :). Never made succotash but it looks delicious and so 21st century!u
Lea Ann says
June 16, 2013 at 12:30 pmI loved the Roadrunner and Wile E. š

June 22, 2013 at 7:46 pmThere are so many great one liners from Looney Toons.
“I guess I took a wrong turn in Albuquerque”
“His name is George and I will love him and hold him and….”
“I’m a chicken hawk and YOU’RE a chicken!”
Lea Ann says
June 23, 2013 at 4:34 pmI’ll have to Google those first two. Not familiar with them.
