This recipe is delicious and versatile. I often substitute a tablespoon of minced fresh basil for the dried, and two to three ears of sweet corn (about a cup cut fresh from the cob) for the Mexicorn. -Lucile Throgmorton, Clovis, New Mexico

Tips:

Choose the freshest ingredients possible. This will ensure that your dish is packed with flavor and nutrients.
Don't overcook the broccoli. Broccoli should be cooked until it is tender-crisp, not mushy. Overcooked broccoli will lose its flavor and nutrients.
Use a variety of spices and seasonings. This will help to create a flavorful dish that is anything but boring. Experiment with different spices and seasonings until you find a combination that you love.
Don't be afraid to add a little heat. A little bit of heat can help to balance out the sweetness of the corn and broccoli. If you like spicy food, add a pinch of chili powder or cayenne pepper to your dish.
Serve immediately. This dish is best served hot and fresh from the pan. Leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.

Festive broccoli corn is a delicious and easy-to-make side dish that is perfect for any occasion. It is packed with flavor and nutrients, and it can be customized to your liking. So next time you're looking for a healthy and flavorful side dish, give festive broccoli corn a try.
