Iron-Skillet Succotash

Iron-Skillet Succotash
Bon Appétit November 2010

3 tablespoons butter
1 large white onion, cut into 1/2-inch pieces (about 2 1/2 cups)
18 ounces medium zucchini (about 4), trimmed, cut into 1/2-inch cubes
1 large red bell pepper, cut into 1/2-inch pieces (about 1 1/2 cups)
1 large orange bell pepper, cut into 1/2-inch pieces (about 1 1/2 cups)
1 10-ounce package frozen lima beans or shelled edamame, partially frozen
1 10-ounce package frozen corn kernels, partially frozen
1 tablespoon minced fresh marjoram
Coarse kosher salt

The technique: Skillet-roasted
Cooking veggies over moderate heat for a bit longer than you would for a typical sauté helps meld flavors while retaining texture. The added benefit? Side dishes cooked on the stovetop preserve precious oven space.

Preparation
Melt butter in heavy large skillet (preferably cast iron) over medium-high heat. Add onion; cook until golden, about 5 minutes. Add zucchini and peppers; cook until beginning to soften, stirring often, about 5 minutes. Add lima beans and corn; cook until heated through, stirring constantly, about 5 minutes. Mix in marjoram. Season with coarse salt and black pepper. Transfer succotash to large bowl and serve.

Slow-Cooker Pulled Pork Sandwiches

Recipe courtesy Food Network MagazinePrep Time: 15 min
Inactive Prep Time: —
Cook Time: 8 hr 15 min
Level: Easy
Serves: 4 servings

Ingredients

3 tablespoons light brown sugar
2 teaspoons hot paprika
1 teaspoon mustard powder
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
1 3-to-4-pound boneless pork shoulder, trimmed of excess fat
2 teaspoons vegetable oil
1/2 cup apple cider vinegar, plus more to taste
3 tablespoons tomato paste
6 potato buns
Barbecue sauce and prepared coleslaw, for serving

Directions

Combine 1 tablespoon brown sugar, the paprika, mustard powder, cumin, 2 teaspoons salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper in a small bowl. Rub the spice mixture all over the pork.
Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet; add the pork and cook, turning, until browned on all sides, 5 minutes. Remove the pork and transfer to a plate; whisk 3/4 cup water into the drippings in the skillet. Transfer the liquid to a 5-to-6-quart slow cooker.
Add the vinegar, tomato paste, the remaining 2 tablespoons brown sugar and 2 cups water to the slow cooker and whisk to combine. Add the pork, cover and cook on low, 8 hours.
Remove the pork and transfer to a cutting board. Strain the liquid into a saucepan, bring to a boil and cook until reduced by half, about 10 minutes. Season with salt. Roughly chop the pork and mix in a bowl with 1 cup of the reduced cooking liquid, and salt and vinegar to taste. Serve on buns with barbecue sauce and coleslaw.
