Sweet corn, creamy beans, and tender squash come together in this modern take on a centuries-old Native American dish known as succotash. Infused with Noshejan Fuego Fandango, it carries gentle heat and smoke that highlight the natural sweetness of the Three Sisters harvest. A dish that honors tradition while bringing warmth and color to today’s table.

Ingredients
- 1 ½ cups diced butternut or summer squash (traditionalists can use pumpkin or marrow squash)
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1 small red bell pepper, seeded & diced
- 1 small yellow onion, finely chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 cups fresh or frozen corn kernels
- 1 ½ cups cooked lima beans
- 2 tbsp Fuego Fandango
- ¼ cup water or light vegetable broth

Instructions
In a mixing bowl, toss the squash with ½ tbsp oil. Roast at 400°F for 20 minutes, until tender.
In a wide skillet, heat the remaining oil over medium. Add the onion and bell pepper, and cook for 5–6 minutes, until softened. Stir in garlic and cook 1 minute more.
Add the corn, lima beans, roasted squash, and Fuego Fandango. Stir gently and coat evenly.
Pour in water or broth, reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and let simmer 5–7 minutes to meld flavors. Uncover and stir in the butter, allowing to melt fully.
