Homemade Cherokee Succotash








Succotash is a Cherokee side dish that was made with lima beans, corn cut fresh from the cob, dry lima beans, wild onions, bacon fat, smoked ham hock and other time pumpkin or bell peppers or okra.   Here is my meatless version of Succotash.

 Here is what you need:

1 Bag of frozen lima beans (cook according to direction on bag.)
2 Large ears of corn on cob (cooked and cut off cob)
1 Small onion finely chopped
1 Small Can cut tomato and green Chile
To taste fresh garlic and non-salt or herbs and butter (New Balance) or olive oil[

Here is what you do:
In a serving bowl mix all of the ingredients together. Service this dish hot with corn bread.
