Succotash (British ingredients)
Succotash using British ingredients
The version of succotash is based on Lyn Hall's 'My succotash' [Lyn Hall's Cookery Course ISBN 1840913487] which uses ingredients that would be available in the UK. I am making it to go with Tex-Mex beer can chicken as I feel they would work well together.

Variations
I've used borlotti beans so there is a good colour mix, however almost any canned pulses would be fine. I often open various cans of pulses, rinse them, mix them all up in a huge bowl and freeze in small batches. A mix such as this would be ideal in this dish.
