Southwestern Succotash

This vibrant Southwestern succotash is a colourful celebration of late-summer produce. By charring fresh poblano chillies and combining them with sweetcorn, vine-ripened tomatoes, and tender yellow squash, you create a dish that is both smoky and refreshing. A final swirl of double cream and a squeeze of zingy lime juice transform these simple vegetables into a sophisticated, silky side dish that brings a touch of sunshine to the dinner table.

As a versatile vegetarian dish, this recipe works beautifully as a light main course or as a hearty accompaniment to grilled halloumi or roasted meats. Packed with fibre and essential vitamins, it is a healthy yet comforting way to enjoy your five-a-day. Serve it warm with a final flourish of fresh coriander for a beautifully balanced, homemade meal that the whole family will enjoy.

Ingredients for Southwestern Succotash

  • 3 fresh poblano chillies (350g total)

  • 2 matskedar olivolja

  • 1 medium onion, cut into 1/3-inch pieces

  • 1 medium red pepper, cut into 1/3-inch pieces

  • 2 garlic cloves, finely chopped

  • 1/2 teaspoons black pepper

  • 1/2 teaspoons cumin seeds

  • 1 1/4 teaspoons salt

  • 475ml fresh corn (from 3 to 4 ears)

  • 450g tomatoes, cut into 1/3-inch pieces

  • 450g yellow squash, cut into 1/3-inch pieces

  • 60ml double cream

  • 1 matsked färsk limejuice

  • 3 tablespoons chopped fresh coriander

Lay chillies on their sides on racks of gas burners, then turn flames on moderately high and roast chillies, turning with tongs, until skins are blistered, 5 to 7 minutes. (Or grill on rack of a grill pan about 2 inches from heat, turning, 8 to 10 minutes.) Transfer chillies immediately to a large bowl and cover tightly. Let steam 10 minutes, then peel or rub off skins and discard stems, seeds, and ribs. Cut chillies into 1/3-inch pieces.

Heat oil in a 12-inch heavy skillet over moderately high heat until hot but not smoking, then sauté onion and red pepper, stirring occasionally, until golden, about 6 minutes. Add garlic, black pepper, cumin seeds, and 1/4 teaspoons salt and sauté, stirring, until garlic is fragrant, about 1 minute.

Add corn, tomatoes, squash, and 1/2 teaspoons salt and cook over moderately high heat, covered, stirring occasionally, until vegetables are just tender and have exuded liquid, 8 to 10 minutes. Remove lid and continue to cook, stirring occasionally, until most of liquid is evaporated, about 5 minutes.

Stir in chillies, cream, lime juice, 2 tablespoons coriander, and remaining 1/2 teaspoons salt and continue to cook, stirring occasionally, until liquid is slightly thickened, about 3 minutes. Sprinkle with remaining tablespoon coriander.
