In reply to Diana M. Hi Diana, I don't think that step is necessary. I just cook all the pepper varieties chopped together.

Hi, do the poblano peppers need to be charred to remov the skins first?

In reply to Betsy Hardee. Hi Betsy, yes, okra is traditional in succotash, but I have opted not to include it because it is only seasonally available and can be a challenge to cook. I suggest roasting it separately and then incorporating at the end.

Is there a way to incorporate okra into the recipe? I love it and your recipes!

In reply to Sorry, had to get it out.. Hello, specifying it is vegetarian helps those who are looking for that specifically.

So…. it’s a succotash, without bacon. And some other twists but I mean, it’s just leaving the (already optional) bacon out. I don’t feel like that’s really worth calling a vegetarian version of something, any more than specifying a recipe for a vegetarian ratatouille which is already vegetarian at its core. Specifying a vegetarian recipe as something special would make more sense when it’s a dish where the meat is originally a core ingredient, not an optional one. Maybe that’s just me though.

In reply to Régine. I'll try this for Thanksgiving. I always throw some chopped zucchini into my succotash and will use jarred queen beans (UK) not keen on Lima beans.

So tasty! I used fresh corn and frozen endame. The texture and flavor are amazing!

I grew up in MI where it was a staple side dish. Of course, I had to pick the bacon out..lol. Now that I’m grown and still vegetarian, this recipe has become a staple around our house. If I want to serve it with Mexican, I add a little cumin and chili powder; WALA! Mexican Succotash! If I want to serve it as a side with Italian, a little hot oregano, or other Italian herb and; WALA! You get the idea. This recipe goes with any main dish. I have even added plant based meat and passed it off as THE main dish. Try it, you’ll like it!

Thanks for this! I made it less spicy and with vegan butter – it is delicious. I remember my grandmother and mother making succatash and it was nice to have a recipe to bring back those memories .
