Skillet Succotash

Several years ago our family was in Branson, MO and went to Silver Dollar City amusement park. This them park is based on old times in the Ozark Mountains. At one concession spot they featured succotash being made in this 8-10 ft wok as a worker used a large shovel tool to "stir fry" it. The colors were so vibrant and the taste was fantastic. I tried to get their recipe. We even bought several cookbooks that stated it had the recipes of food there. But, alas, all was false. I could not find the recipe. After years looking I decided to create the recipe from my memory of the taste and look. Below is what I came up with. My family loves it. Even the kids.

Succotash Batch 3 Succotash Batch 3
An awesome dish by Native Americans. Living off beans and rice, has been the way of life since man was created. Probably will still be here long after we have departed. There is carbs in beans, onions, and corn. There isn't no fat a lot of people use lard to add to their beans. This prevents malnutrition and malnourishment. 20% of our diet has to be fat of some type or we can die. So this is why I added olive oil and duck fat. Back in the day it was near grease, I don't have any. skunkmonkey101 -

This stated with a recipe from Cooking Light. I keep adjusting. One trick I use is cooking a layer at a time, adding seasoning for each new layer, based on the ingredients of that level. By doing this, the individual ingredients have their own flavors. vjcrochet -
Cajun Salmon w Succotash Cajun Salmon w Succotash
Cajun Salmon w Saccotash. I’m not really a fish eater, but this salmon dish was taught to me by Gordon Ramsey I don’t think mine is as good as his but it’s I tried I started with taking the salmon and then bending it then giving it 3 slits so that I get a crispy skin and then making sure my pan is nice and hot before I put my oil then put my salmon in actually my first time to cook salmon so you can tell when it’s time to flip the color will change from pink to white then flip then I added some fresh thyme and garlic to base tarragon would work as well. For the succotash I used red onion, minced garlic, green, red bell peppers, corn, zucchini , yellow squash, cilantro and lemon juice. This how it come out Christian Allarde
