Native Americans introduced settlers to this dish in the 1700s. Corn and beans are two of the “three sisters” of Native American cooking, and succotash (derived from a Narragansett word that means broken or boiled corn kernels) quickly caught on. Southern variations, like this one, are typically made with heavy cream.

Ingredients

Directions

  1. Melt the butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the shallot and cook, stirring, until softened, about 2 minutes. Add the corn, shishitos, lima beans, thyme, cayenne and a pinch of salt. Cook, stirring, until heated through, 6 to 8 minutes.
  2. Stir in the heavy cream and cook until thickened, about 2 minutes. Stir in the parsley and basil before serving.
