Uptown Succotash
(serves 4)
Delicious served aside seared scallops, grilled chicken, or flank steak
Ingredients:
4 slices of thick cut high quality bacon cooked and crumbled. Reserve 1 Tablespoon grease. (applewood smoked is delicious in this recipe)
1.5 cups fresh cut corn (approximately 3 ears of corn)
1 cup of grape or cherry tomatoes cut in half
1 cup cooked lady peas, baby limas, purple hull peas or even edamame. Make sure to cook in salted water. I add a piece of bacon to the water for flavor.
1 Tablespoon chopped chives
1 Tablespoon bacon grease
1 Tablespoon butter
salt and pepper to taste
Directions:
Cook corn in butter and bacon grease until crisp tender. Add tomatoes and cooked lady peas. Cook until tomatoes are soft but still hold their shape (about 5 minutes). Season with salt and pepper. Remove from heat and add bacon crumbles and chives. Serve warm
