1850S Natchez Style Succotash
From mellian 16 years agoIngredients
- 1 lb. baby lima beans (fresh or frozen) shopping list
- salt pork or 2 or more slices of bacon shopping list
- 1 chopped onion shopping list
- 1 clove minced garlic shopping list
- 4 to 6 ears sweet corn or 1 lb frozen corn shopping list
- 1/4 c. butter (I also used bacon fat) shopping list
- heavy cream shopping list
- salt and pepper to taste shopping list
- Tobasco or Chulola shopping list
How to make it
- Cook beans in water seasoned with salt pork or bacon, onion, and garlic until done.The water should cover the beans by about 2 to 3 inches. Cook until beans are soft, but not mushy, about 15 minutes in simmering water.
- Drain beans, reserving liquid and bacon.
- Cut corn off the cob (not needed if using frozen corn). Saute bacon from beans in butter and bacon fat in heavy skillet. Add beans to the corn and add enough cream and bean liquid to cover the corn and beans. Season with salt, pepper and Tobasco/Cholula sauce. Simmer for an additional 30 minutes. It may take a few more minutes to get the sauce reduced enough to make a nice creamy cover for the corn and beans. Serves 4 to 6.

- Mel's notes: FANTASTIC! I didn't have salt pork, so I used two slices of bacon. We also used Cholula Chili Garlic sauce instead of Tobasco. I used 1lb of frozen beans and the same for corn since fresh was not available. The corn cooked in bacon grease and butter was a wonderful touch.
- Served it with the Bourbon Garlic Chicken and potato rosemary bread. Wonderful meal!
