Notes, tips, and variations

The pork is commonly omitted for a vegetarian side-dish.

In some recipes, a red bell pepper (chopped) is added.

One variation which is similar to glottucks is to add 1/2 cup dried sea kelp, chopped. In the vegetarian variation, the kelp is sautéed in butter first, and then the remaining ingredients are added.Succotash Recipes
