3 sisters yes corn, beans and squash native style ❤️
You're a good teacher. Thanks!
Thank you and please post the other versions of Succotash.
I am now retired and have never really cooked. But I'm cooking simple things. I tried this and it was great, even the wife packed some in her lunch bag.
I made this today and it is SO good!
This is delicious and healthy – we love it
Here we go! Firstly, I am the biggest fan of ATK and Cook’s country for a long time. I have learned so much from you all and love, love, each one of you! Thanks for being there and teach us to enjoy great meals! Now, without checking what I really have in my fridge, I had the urge to cook your dish. I am telling you, it came out excellent! I promise to use your original recipe next time though. I had half green and half red bell peppers, no cayenne but crushed red pepper, no real butter but vegan butter (added a drizzle of extra virgin oil). Everything else, I had the items you mentioned and followed the steps you showed, Thank God! It came out great and I was the happiest to eat this dish. Thank you million times! I am hooked 😃
That looks good. I thought "succotash" was just a funny word they used in old cartoons.
Looks like a good recipe. I'd only add that explaining "butter beans" would have been welcome. That's a regional term that I only encountered when staying a while in the South of USA. My sense is that it means what most Americans call baby lima beans. I'm not sure. Keep up your good work!
😋😉😄😘❤💔🥰🌹🌸🌷🍁✟✡✟
What type of onion do you recommend?
Elle could be cooking up fresh sawdust with a side of hoof scrapings, I'll still watch. She's got a gentle, relaxed manner in front of the camera and I love it.
Elle, I love the tip for removing corn from the cob. This looks so delicious, i look forward to trying it.
I'm #DrBalogun I cure all kinds of STD with herbal supplement with know side infect.
Love, she should show more of her recipes 😋
This recipe is fine but damn I don't want this lady anywhere near my kitchen. Drains beans into a huge colander over a giant frigging bowl over a full sized dinner plate. This lady just filled the dang dishwasher instead of just draining the beans using the can lid, into a cup or something. Heck.
Fresh corn isn’t really a thing here in winter in PNW. Frozen corn acceptable or just don’t even try? Use hominy instead?
What can you use instead of raw onion, if the host is allergic?
Good recipe. But how did you lose the weight?? You look good.
Elle, I'm so intrigued! But I'm left wondering – could we get a whole series of '3 Sisters' Succotash variation recipes?
Replacing the usual lima beans 🤢 with butter beans is an improvement. Less mealy.
I loooove butter beans. For a quick dinner, I'll fry a little sausage, add my beans a put them on rice.
You put the work in! Thanks for the inspiration to get fit! May God continue to bless your endeavors. You’re an inspiration and my 85 year mom would love this👌🏾🙏🏽
I'm from the U.K. and during the past 5 decades I had no idea what Succotash was. I didn't even know how to spell it. Now I finally know. Thank you.
My grandmother's succotash was a chunky tomato, lima bean, and corn soup seasoned with a ham bone. Even between neighbors, no two succotash recipes are the same in eastern NC. This is a fine recipe that I encourage you to make, but personally speaking, delicious as this is, it will never taste like the love I remember in hers.
Make this. Just do it.
So good to see Elle, one of my favorite chefs on America's Test Kitchen. A true American recipe. You mentioned squash, when I lived in New Mexico I learned squash is a frequent ingredient among indigenous people there as well. I have a great deal of respect for the wisdom of the originators of the recipes. Would love to see you prepare the original. Fresh, organic, local ingredients in a recipe handed down to each new generation. Sign me up.
Nah but Kikuyus from kenya have githeri how is this not the same
How much squash would you normally use? I’m thinking Butternut squash and leave in some of the red bell pepper.
It’s Chef Elle. Thanks for sharing your recipe with your fans.
I love Elle!
Hello Chef Elle. Could use a different Bean in place of the Butter Beans?
So genuine
"use only fresh corn" – its 20 below zero today
I'd use carrots instead of the peppers. Can't eat any kind of peppers or chillies.
ATK – don't know if it's YOU , but please relax your "censored words" to include different languages, please. I would hope that you wouldn't mind an international audience; and doing the whole "English only rubbish" detracts from the fine people who might like to comment on your videos.
Sincerely,
Tom
Intéressant !: I wonder if the Haudenosaunee (Their own name for themselves "The People of the Long Houses" ) shared in their pre-history with the Aztecs "esquites", which are: white corn, Poblano chile, garlic, and "chile de árbol" ("tree chile" – and VERY spicy). Of course, in Mexico, we have beans (haven't seen "butter" beans; however, it seems that the Yucatán beans would be an excellent option here as well.
I am happy that the ol' "THufferin' THuccotash" – THylvester (Looney Tunes) is something I am quite fond of, and I never really knew what that was.
I eat very low carb now; however, a "schmidgen" here an there of esquites are quite delicious!
I am unsure if that corn la chef used was white or yeller, but I would reccomend highly the Mexican white corn, as it has a superior texture to corn that "crunches" and turns to water.
Mes deux centimes; mis dos centavitos; my two cents for the interested …
Truly educated today, thank you, Chef ! <3

P.S. – WOW! We would use limes instead of lemon, and we would use "epazote" instead of the parsely! The similarities are TOO close to rule out "sharing" as I stated above!
Note: Instead of butter, lard is used.
Fascinating!
Awesome! Will be making this for dinner this week.
DAMN SHE LOSS ALOT OF WEIGHT!! ✊🏽💪🏽
