Smoked Edamame Succotash

Created by Steve,

Description

This smoking side dish is filling, flavorful and fast.  Sure real Succotash is mde with cream and butter but this is better and more flavorful.  Of course you can use lima beans like I usually do but we had some frozen Edamame on hand and it worked great!

Ingredients

At a glance
Makes
6 - 8 side servings

1 lbs. Frozen Edamame

1 lbs. Frozen Corn

1 meidum onion diced about the size of the Edamame

1 Red or Green Bell Pepper diced the size of the onion (optional)

3 cloves garlic crushed or minced

1 tsp Smoked Paprika

Pinch Dried Thyme

2 Tbs Olive Oil

3 Tbs Dry Sherry

Salt and pepper to taste

Methods/steps

Saute the onion and pepper (if using) in 1 Tbs olive oil until sofened.

Push the onion aside so there's enough room to add the remaining Tbs olive oil to the pan making a little puddle.  Add the smoked paprika and thyme and let cook for about 30 to 60 seconds.  Than add the garlic and stir it into the spices with the olive oil until fregrent (about 30 to 60 second).  This is important to enhance and distribute the flavor.

Add the frozen Edamame and sherry to the pan.  Bring to a harm simmer and cover the pan for 2 minutes.  Add the corn and mix everyting together with a little salt and pepper.  Cover the pan for another 2 minutes.

Uncover the pan and stir things together a little more.  Cokk until done another 2 to 3 minutes stiring often.

 

Additional Tips

Parsley added at the end is great but basil or oregano work fine as well.
