Ingredients
5 total- 4 corn on the cob
- 3 tbsp of extra virgin olive oil
- 1 lime, cut in half
- 1 red chilli, finely chopped
- 1 small bunch of coriander, leaves only, roughly chopped
Method
4 stepsStep 1
Plunge the corn into a pan of well-salted boiling water and cook over a high heat for 4 mins until the kernels are tender. Drain and allow to steam dry.
Step 2
Brush the corn with 1tbsp olive oil and barbecue for about 8 mins, turning occasionally, until blackened in places. A couple of mins before the end of the cooking time, place the lime halves on the grill, cut-side down. When cooked, remove the corn and lime from the barbecue and allow to cool.
Step 3
When the corn is cool enough to handle, hold one cob in the centre of a mixing bowl and use a serrated knife and sawing motion to carefully slice off the kernels. Discard the centre of the cob and repeat with the remaining corn.
Step 4
Mix the remaining olive oil, the chilli and coriander through the corn kernels. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Transfer to a serving bowl, squeeze over the grilled lime and serve.
