I am getting to that I-am-going-to-throw-the-next-zucchini-I-see-out-the-window phase of my garden. I had to do something to make sauteed zucchini seem more fun. I think that is what the original succotash makers were thinking too. Succotash is one of those foods that people make to use up their fresh garden veggies. Everything is in season and delicious. Really the thing that distinguishes a veggies saute as Succotash is the addition of beans. Usually lima. I happen to love lima beans, and frozen ones in particular are always great. I also had a party where I bought 12 ears of corn to serve and I totally spaced and forgot to make the corn. I cut if off the cob and froze it. I used about 1 1/2 cups of it here. You can use fresh or frozen corn for this recipe. Canned would not be as good. You can substitute any other veggies you like. This one turned out particularly well, so I highly recommend it.

Here's what I'll tell you about this succotash. I had seconds on Sunday night instead of having seconds of fried chicken. And then I ate spoonfuls of it, standing up by myself in the kitchen after softball, trying to do so surreptitiously so no one would ask (a) if I was a monster or (b) if they could have any. Delicious. Zucc me like a hurricane.
