Hot Pepper Succotash is a spicy, quick version of an American staple that
is simple to make and fun to eat. (Native) American

American Indians made dishes from the corn and beans they grew side by side
in their fields. When they harvested the patch, they cooked the vegetables
together and called it succotash, their word for ``hodgepodge.'' It was
really a meal in itself when made with ham or other meat as well as
vegetables. Fresh vegetables were added in the summer and dried ones in the
winter.
