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.
