Iron-Skillet Succotash

This vibrant vegetable succotash is a colourful celebration of garden-fresh flavours, making it an ideal vegetarian side dish or a light main meal. By using a heavy frying pan, you can achieve a wonderful slight char on the sweetcorn and peppers, which beautifully complements the savoury, buttery base. The addition of fresh marjoram provides a delicate, floral herb note that lifts the starchier beans and sweet vegetables.

Packed with nutrients and fibre, this versatile dish is an excellent way to reach your five-a-day. It fits perfectly into a healthy midweek menu and works exceptionally well alongside grilled halloumi or as a filling for warm flatbreads. Whether you use frozen edamame or traditional lima beans, this simple stovetop recipe is a reliable staple for quick, seasonal eating.
