Succotash - PCOS-Friendly Recipe

Put ham hock in a stockpot and add the water. Bring to a boil, cover, reduce heat to a simmer, and cook for 1 to 1 1/2 hours. Add House Seasoning and seasoned salt to water as hock simmers. Add water as needed (up to 2 more cups as the meat cooks). Add the butter beans, 2 tablespoons butter and hot sauce and return the liquid to a boil. Reduce the heat, cover, and cook over low heat for 20 minutes, or until the beans are done. Remove butter beans and reserve liquid. In a skillet, saute bacon. Add corn, okra butter beans and a few scoops of juice from the butter beans pot. Simmer for about 10 minutes. Add parsley and chicken base; cover and simmer, stirring occasionally and simmer for about 20 minutes. Add fresh tomatoes and 4 tablespoons more butter at the last minute. Simmer until tomatoes are hot.
