For a creamier succotash, stir in a tablespoon of heavy cream or crème fraîche at the end. If fresh corn is unavailable, frozen corn works perfectly well. Just be sure to thaw it slightly before adding it to the skillet. Feel free to experiment with other vegetables, such as edamame or diced carrots. For a smoky flavor, add a pinch of smoked paprika along with the cumin. Serve as a vibrant side dish or enjoy it as a light vegetarian meal.
