How to cook deliciously - Spring Succotash
1. Stage
Sauté the carrots and ham: Heat the olive oil over medium-high heat in a large sauté pan – large enough to hold all of the vegetables and the ham. Add the ham and the carrots and sauté, stirring from time to time, until the ham begins to brown, about 5 minutes.
2. Stage
Add the corn and spring onions: Add the corn and spring onions and toss to combine. Sauté for another 2 minutes.
3. Stage
Add the fava beans: Now add the blanched, shelled fava beans and cook for 1 more minute. Turn off the heat and add the lemon juice, and taste for salt. You might not need any because the ham is salty. Cover the pot and let it sit for 2 minutes, to steam.
4. Stage
Toss in the mint and serve: Add the mint. Serve hot or at room temperature.
