The technique:Cooking veggies over moderate heat for a bit longer than you would for a typical sauté helps meld flavors while retaining texture.
The payoff:Side dishes cooked on the stovetop preserve precious oven space.

Ingredients

Makes 10 servings

3 tablespoons butter
1 large white onion, cut into 1/2-inch pieces (about 2 1/2 cups)
18 ounces medium zucchini (about 4), trimmed, cut into 1/2-inch cubes
1 large red bell pepper, cut into 1/2-inch pieces (about 1 1/2 cups)
1 large orange bell pepper, cut into 1/2-inch pieces (about 1 1/2 cups)
1 10-ounce package frozen lima beans or shelled edamame, partially frozen
1 10-ounce package frozen corn kernels, partially frozen
1 tablespoon minced fresh marjoram
Coarse kosher salt
  1. Melt butter in heavy large skillet (preferably cast iron) over medium-high heat. Add onion; cook until golden, about 5 minutes. Add zucchini and peppers; cook until beginning to soften, stirring often, about 5 minutes. Add lima beans and corn; cook until heated through, stirring constantly, about 5 minutes. Mix in marjoram. Season with coarse salt and black pepper. Transfer succotash to large bowl and serve.

  • I found it a bit boring. Adding some garlic or parmesan might be a good idea!

  • I do a variation of this dish, but I add garlic,use shallots instead of onions, sometimes rosemary and parmesian cheese and I add the zucchini later because it cooks up quickly and gets mushy easily
