From the Test Kitchen

Pickled grapes are an exceptional, gourmet way to brighten up a summer dish. Here, we’re thinly slicing juicy red grapes and soaking them in a simple mixture of champagne vinegar, sugar and salt. They soak up plenty of tangy-sweet flavor in the time it takes to sear our cod and make a seasonal succotash—a traditional vegetable medley with Native American roots—featuring snappy beans, plump cherry tomatoes and sweet corn. (Depending on what’s best at the farms near you, your beans may be green or purple!)

While the grapes pickle, in a large pan (nonstick, if you have one), heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil on medium-high until hot. Add the shallot and garlic; season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring frequently, 30 seconds to 1 minute, or until softened and fragrant. Add the corn and beans; season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, 3 to 5 minutes, or until the softened. Add ¼ cup of water; cook, stirring occasionally, 3 to 4 minutes, or until the water has cooked off.
