This may be America’s oldest vegetable recipe, coming from a Narragansett Indian word, ‘msickquatash,’ which, according to the Merriam-Webster Dictionary, means ‘boiled corn kernels.’ When most of you hear the word succotash, you probably don’t think of a delicious vegetable side dish, you probably think of the catchphrase, ‘Sufferin’ succotash!’ But succotash really is a great and very underrated recipe.
Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 ½ teaspoons butter
- ½ yellow onion, diced
- salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
- ½ red bell pepper, diced

- ¼ cup water

Directions
Step 1
Heat olive oil and butter in a skillet over medium heat. Cook and stir onion with a pinch of salt in hot butter and oil until onion is softened and slightly golden, 6 to 7 minutes. Add red bell pepper, jalapeno, and garlic; cook and stir until peppers are fragrant and softened, 3 to 4 minutes.
