Edamame Succotash

This dish puts a spin on the traditional succotash by using the ever trendy edamame. If you adore the old standby instead, feel free to use lima beans.

Ingredients:

2 cups shelled and cooked edamame
1 cups chopped red pepper
2 tablespoons diced red onion
1 cup sweet corn (fresh, canned or thawed frozen)
1-2 tablespoons light margarine or 1 tablespoon olive oil or ICB spray
Salt and pepper to taste

Directions:

Cook (and shell, if needed) the edamame according to package directions. In a large pan add 1 tablespoon light margarine or 1 teaspoon of olive oil or 10 sprays ICB and add the onions and red pepper. Saute until slightly tender, about 5 minutes. Throw in the corn and edamame and add the second tablespoon light margarine, or teaspoons of olive oil or 10-20 more sprays of ICB and sauté for another 5-7 minutes. Add salt and pepper to taste and serve.
