Succotash is an American dish that comes from the indigenous peoples of North America. The word is a corruption, meaning 'a dish of boiled or stewed corn'. A typical classic Succotash contains corn and lima beans. The dish is suitable for a side dish that is special enough for a feast, yet easy enough to prepare and serve any day of the week.
