Although succotash has Native American roots dating back to the 1600s, you'll taste the flavors of the Caribbean with the addition of Marie's Belizean Heat.

Ingredients
- 10 ounces fresh baby lima beans (2 cups)
- 4 bacon slices
- 1 cup chopped sweet onion
- 1 cup fresh okra, cut into ½ inch slices
- 1 teaspoon minced fresh garlic
- 3 cups fresh corn kernels
- 1 ¼ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
- 3 tablespoons butter
- 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
-
3 tablespoons Marie Sharp’s Belizean Heat Habanero Pepper Sauce
- ¼ cup thinly sliced fresh basil
Directions
- Place lima beans in a medium saucepan, and add water to cover. Bring to a boil over medium-high. Reduce to medium-low, and simmer until beans are just tender, 8 to 10 minutes. Drain and set aside.
- While beans simmer, place bacon slices in a large cast iron skillet over medium. Cook until crisp, about 8 minutes, turning once after 5 minutes. Transfer bacon to paper towels to drain. Crumble and set aside. Reserve drippings in skillet.
- Add chopped onion, fresh okra, and garlic to skillet over medium, and cook, stirring often, until onion is just tender, about 6 minutes. Stir in fresh corn kernels, salt, pepper, and drained beans, and cook, stirring often, until corn is tender and bright yellow, 5 to 6 minutes. Add butter, and cook, stirring constantly, until butter is melted, about 1 minute. Remove from heat.
- Stir in halved cherry tomatoes,
hot sauce, and sliced basil. Sprinkle with crumbled bacon, and serve
immediately. Enjoy.
