Somewhat Succotash
This recipe is inspired by the classic dish Succotash. I have updated it a bit and charged up the color with our gorgeous Romano Beans. I really like the contrast of the sweet corn and beans with the smoky flavor of the bacon and
5 slices bacon
1/2 Willie Walla Walla onion, sliced and then chopped into 1/2" lengths
1 garlic clove minced
3 c. Romano Beans, snapped into 1-2" pieces
2 c. shucked fresh corn kernels, about 3-4 ears
1 TBS butter
1 1/2 c. cherry tomatoes
Salt & freshly ground pepper
1/2 c. shredded sharp cheddar cheese
Fry the bacon in a large frying pan until brown, but not crisp. Reserve the bacon grease in the pan. Remove the bacon from the pan with a fork and drain on paper towels. Coarsely chop the cooked bacon and set aside.
Cook the onion and garlic in the bacon grease over medium heat until soft and just beginning to brown. Add the beans and stir. Cook for two minutes and then add the corn and butter cook for another two minutes. Add the cherry tomatoes and cook until just heated through. Season with salt and pepper. Top with the chopped bacon and cheddar cheese. Serve immediately.
