    I cooked only the succotash and it was great. I've made it at least 15 times. I use yellow squash instead of the other squash. It is better and easy to acquire. Only use fresh corn. I sautee each individually ingredient in butter and a small amount of oil. I micro the lima beans until particially cooked, then sautee. Then combine all and finish cooking. It was the hit of my Christmas party. Thanks Bobby Flay !!!!

    The recipe, as shown, has duplicated the first seven (7 sentences; this makes it confusing. I haven't tried it, but it sounds delicious. I have to be careful how much and when I eat mango; will try it when I can.

    This is very labor intensive, like so many of Bobby's recipes. I have not attempted one that I did not like, until now. The Mole smells fantastic, but taste wise, the yellow pepper is overwhelming and mixed with the sweetness of the mango, white chocolate, and yellow raisons produces a nausiating taste. Wow, worst thing I have ever tasted.
