Central Plains Succotash

Recipe courtesy of Roberta Larson Duyff, MS, RD, FADA, CFCS, in Cooking Healthy Across America. As a traditional American favorite, succotash is typically a cooked dish made with lima beans, corn kernels and chopped red and green peppers. Although lima beans are used in New England and generally define a succotash, this version is special for its fiber-rich canned soybeans, lending it a Midwestern flavor.
