- Add garlic, jalapeño, fresh corn and salt and spices and cook 2-3 minutes. Add broth, and simmer until reduced. For extra richness, you could add bacon crumbles or a dollop of butter.
- Squeeze a half of a small lime, and fold in the cilantro .
- Taste and adjust salt and lime. Turn heat off.
- Divide among bowls and place the fish or tofu over top, garnishing with fresh lime and cilantro
Notes
If using tofu, cut into 1-inch slabs, and pat try. Season with extra salt, then dredge.
Fava beans can be prepped ahead. Succotash can be cooked ahead and reheated.
