Succotash used to be very popular in the South (Southern part of the U.S.), but I haven't heard much about it lately. That is one delicious looking picture, though, so I might have to try making this. It looks like it would be a great accompaniment to my Tilapia fillets, too!

I never heard of this before but it is an interesting combination. I was thinking that same thing that it would be a good side with fish. I am not sure about the mint though. I am not big on mint flavor. I might try to find a substitute that would better suit my taste.

Wow, a friend and I were just talking about this dish the other day. We were talking about our love for okra and I started talking about how I can just eat okra and stewed tomatoes over rice as a complete meal. Then we started talking about succotash and how delicious it is. I noticed in your recipe you didn't have any okra in it..you might not like them, but that's the way I remember succotash being prepared, with the corn, okra, tomatoes, lima beans and other veggies you might want. But the ones that I listed are the ones I'm used to. However, your recipe seems real interesting with the mint added. I might have to try it. Thanks for sharing your version of this dish....I hope to try your version real soon.
