Summer Succotash
Summer succotash is a delicious way to use the bounty of summer vegetables. The word succotash come from a native American word, “msickquatash”, which was typically a pot of stewing corn to which other ingredients were added, like beans and squash. The ingredients are versatile, use what looks freshest at the market! Also a great way to use up leftover grilled corn. The pimenton seasoning adds a smokiness that complements the vegetables wonderfully.
