Shanghai Succotash
by Chef Melvin
Succotash is primarily comprised of lima beans (Native to Peru) and corn. Americans altered the recipe by cooking the vegetables with lard, meat drippings, and/or butter. There are many variations on how to prepare succotash; the optional method below is a variation that I’m going to call it the ((((Apple Valley shanghai express))) because of its unique flavor from one of our vendors at the High Desert farmers market named SOLA FOODS. .
Blanch the edamame beans; the corn in separate pots of boiling water until tender, then drain.
Once you have all of your ingredients prepped, Bring them all together in a medium sauce pot
First saute' the garlic, onions and peppers with olive oil; then once onions are translucent, add the other ingredients and let them simmer.
After liquid has reduced by more than 75% your dish is ready to taste and season with salt and pepper.
