Equipment

  • large skillet
  • cutting board
  • Knife
  • Wooden spoon or spatula

Ingredients
  

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 yellow onion diced
  • 1 poblano pepper diced
  • 1 red bell pepper diced

  • 1 cup shelled edamame
  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes halved

Notes

Prep Work is Key - Ensure all your ingredients are prepped and ready to go before you start cooking. This includes dicing the vegetables, shelling the edamame, and halving the cherry tomatoes. Having everything ready will make the cooking process smooth and efficient. Make sure you have a sharp knife for prep! 
Don't Overcook the Corn - Corn kernels can quickly become mushy if overcooked. Cook them just until they turn a vibrant yellow, retaining a slight crunch for added texture.
Butter for Richness - Adding butter at the end of cooking lends richness and a silky texture to the succotash. Stir it in gently until fully melted and incorporated for the best flavor.
