Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 Cup shelled edamame frozen or fresh
  • 1 Tablespoon canola oil
  • 1/2 Cup red bell pepper chopped
  • 1/2 Cup sweet onion chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 2 Cups sweet corn kernels fresh or frozen
  • 3 Tablespoons dry white wine water or chicken broth will work here.
  • 2 Tablespoons rice vinegar
  • 2 Tablespoon fresh parsley chopped
  • 1 Teaspoon dried basil or 1 tablespoon fresh basil, chopped
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • Freshly ground pepper to taste

Instructions

  • Place edamame in a microwave safe bowl. Add a couple of tablespoons of water and cook for 2 minutes. Or cook edamame in a large saucepan of lightly salted water until tender, about 4 minutes or according to package directions. Drain well.
  • Heat oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add bell pepper and onion. Cook until vegetables are starting to soften, stirring frequently. About 3 minutes. Add chopped garlic and cook until garlic is fragrant. About 1 minute.
  • Stir in corn, wine (or water) and the edamame; cook, stirring frequently, for about 5 minutes. Remove from the heat. Stir in vinegar, parsley, basil, salt and pepper. Serve immediately or at room temperature.

Notes

Recipe Variations
  • Traditional succotash includes Lima beans. Add them or switch them out with the edamame.
  • Instead of using canola oil. Start by frying chopped bacon pieces in the pan. Then proceed with the recipe. Bacon makes everything better.
  • Add fresh okra. Chop the ends off the of fresh okra and then slice. Add them at the same time you add the corn and edamame.
  • Fresh Corn: During corn season grill fresh corn on the cob until it's toasty and starting to brown. Remove the corn from the cob and add to the recipe. This will add a wonderfully smoky flavor.
  • Add chopped zucchini during the cooking process.
