Edamame Succotash

If you can’t find fresh edamame (soybeans), frozen works just as well. Look for them in the freezer section of your grocery store.

Recipe information

  • Yield

    serves 6

Ingredients

1 pound butternut squash, peeled, seeded, and cut into 1/2-inch pieces (about 3 cups)
2 ounces green beans, sliced on the bias into 1-inch pieces
2 teaspoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 small onion, finely chopped
1 garlic clove, minced
1/2 cup homemade or low-sodium store-bought chicken stock, skimmed of fat
1 cup fresh or frozen corn kernels
1 cup fresh or frozen shelled edamame
1 teaspoon roughly chopped fresh thyme
Pinch of coarse salt
Freshly ground pepper
1 tablespoon roughly chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley

Preparation

  1. Step 1

    In a steamer basket set over a pan of simmering water, steam the squash until just tender enough to be easily pierced with a sharp knife, about 7 minutes. Transfer to a plate; set aside. Add the green beans to the basket; steam until crisp-tender, about 3 minutes. Remove from heat; set aside.

    Step 2

    In a 10-inch sauté pan, heat the oil over medium heat. Add the onion and garlic; cook, stirring occasionally, until soft and lightly golden, about 3 minutes. Add the chicken stock, and bring to a simmer. Add the corn and edamame; cook, stirring occasionally, until brightly colored and crisp-tender, about 3 minutes.

    Step 3

    Add the thyme with the steamed squash and green beans; cook until heated through, about 3 minutes, stirring to combine. Season with salt and pepper, and sprinkle with the parsley. Serve immediately.
