Corn and Edamame Succotash

About a month ago, I met a bunch of girlfriends for dinner at "Cheeseburger In Paradise". I got this amazing chicken dish and instead of fries, I got their vegetable of the day. It was a corn and edamame succotash and I absolutely loved it. I knew immediately I would try to make it at home. I cooked this tonight for dinner, along with some grilled bbq pork chops and salad. It was very tasty. My husband said I definitely needed to post this. I'll give you the recipe I used tonight and then let you know some modifications I plan on trying next time.

Corn and Edamame Succotash
Serves 4

Ingredients:
1 bag of frozen shelled edamame (I used VIP shelled edamame)
1 bag of frozen sweet corn (I used VIP Steamfresh sweet corn)
1/2 red bell pepper - diced to a fine chop
1/2 green bell pepper - diced to a fine chop
1/2 medium red onion - diced to a fine chop
1 tsp minced garlic
1 tsp olive oil
1 tablespoon light margarine or butter
sea salt and black pepper for seasoning

Directions:
-Cook edamame according to package
-Cook corn according to package
-In a saute pan, add olive oil and heat up.
-Add red and green bell pepper, red onion, and garlic and saute in pan for just a few minutes
-Add minced garlic to mixture
-Add cooked edamame and corn and stir all together
-Add about 1 tablespoon of butter and season with salt and pepper

*Modifications:
-I plan on adding some diced jalapeno's next time I make this dish. I think it would be really good.
-At the end of making this dish, I sprinkled in a small amount of crushed red pepper and it was a nice compliment to the dish.

Enjoy :)

Sorry if these pictures aren't very pretty but I wanted you to see what it looks like. I drizzled bbq sauce on top of the meal but didn't take a picture of that.
