Summer Succotash Remix
Lima beans simmered in broth till tender. Okra stirred in to thicken the sauce, adding that sticky embrace. Sweet corn follows, finishing with crushed tomatoes to warm through from residual heat. Crisp pancetta swaps the bacon, for a little nuttier bite, with shallots replacing onions; subtler, silkier flavor. Red bell peppers retained but diced finer for quicker cooking. Smidgen of smoked paprika added for depth. Cook all in same skillet—no mess, layered flavor from rendered fat, broth reducing down. Balanced vinegar punch cut last, brightens it up. Salt and pepper adjusted near end, tasting for harmony. Crunch of pancetta on top. Visual cues—onion clarity, bean softness, okra thickening, corn snap—signal when to move on.
Sausage-Stuffed Roasted Tomatoes
Six large field tomatoes halved and hollowed. Sweet onion softened in oil. Spicy Italian sausage crumbled and browned. Garlic minced, mixed in. Stale bread cubes soaked with white wine. Parmesan cheese folded into the filling with fresh parsley. Tomatoes pre-roasted until tender, then stuffed. Topped with a crust of bread crumbs and grated cheese. Final broil to crisp the topping. A hearty vegetable and meat combination, served as an entrée without nuts, dairy, or eggs.
