If you’re free to’t find fresh okra, feel free to use thawed frozen okra.
Growing up in the South, summertime was always my favorite season.
Succotash is just one of those dishes that screams “Hello Summer!”

And my mom made thebestsuccotash.
Her secret to making this recipe absolutely perfect was using the freshest ingredients.
So, What Is Succotash?
The dish primarily consists of sweet corn kernels paired with lima beans or other shelled beans.
Some versions of succotash also contain tomatoes, bacon, potatoes or leafy green veggies.
you could also use pork belly, if desired.
Both can add incredible flavor and texture to your dish.
Once your meat is done and has produced a sufficient amount of drippings, add your onions.
Cook on medium-high heat for 2 to 3 minutes, or until translucent.
Next it’s time to add the beans, corn and tomatoes.
Cook for about 5 minutes or until all the ingredients are tender.
Last but not leastadd the okra and a little bit of water.
Cook the succotash for an additional 7 to 10 minutes and season to taste.
And I tend to agree with this logic.
Transfer to a paper-towel-lined plate with a slotted spoon.
Add onion to the pan and cook, stirring, until translucent, 2 to 3 minutes.
Stir in salt and pepper to taste.
Remove from heat and let stand for 10 minutes.
Stir in the bacon before serving.
