Green soybeans, called edamame, have a sweet. nutty flavor. Standing in for the traditional lima beans, they offer a great variation on this classic dish. Edamame are available frozen and fresh, in the pod and shelled.

Look for them in large supermarkets, natural-food stores or Asian markets. For a great twist, serve the succotash in hollowed-out tomatoes. If you're using frozen edamame, prepare them first according to package directions, omitting any salt, and drain well.
