This may be America’s oldest vegetable recipe, coming from a Narragansett Indian word, ‘msickquatash,’ which, according to the Merriam-Webster Dictionary, means ‘boiled corn kernels.’ When most of you hear the word succotash, you probably don’t think of a delicious vegetable side dish, you probably think of the catchphrase, ‘Sufferin’ succotash!’ But succotash really is a great and very underrated recipe.
