This is a play on the classic Succotash recipe from The Health Cooking Blog! the creator of the Eating Well Through Cancer Cookbook that we used in last months cooking class.

A few notes on the ingredients:
The okra can be fresh and cut up or purchased frozen and already cut. I used fresh okra when I made this recipe and put it on a sheet pan at 400F for about 10 minutes while I was preparing the rest of the meal. This decreased the cooking time on the stove!
I bought canned corn, so I just used the whole can rather than just 1 cup (to not be wasteful). But, if you are using fresh or frozen, using only 1 cup is less wasteful!
I could only find dried navy beans at the store, and then I forgot to soak the beans prior to wanting to make this recipe. So, I ended up using canned Great Northern Beans I had in my pantry! Necessity is the Mother of Invention, right?? And I think the larger beans were quite good in this recipe. But, if you have an Instant Pot you don’t have to soak beans before cooking them.

NOTES:
- Try roasting the okra at 400F for 10-30 minutes before adding to the skillet to add a crispier texture.
- Try different seasonings – garlic, chili powder, cajun style seasoning, etc.
