Ingredients

  • 4 Essential Sweetcorn cobs
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • ¾ tsp fine sea salt
  • 60g unsalted butter
  • 2 red chillies, deseeded and finely chopped
  • 1 lime, juice
  • ½ x 25g pack mint, leaves chopped
  • 60g feta, crumbled

Method

  1. Put a griddle pan over a high heat until smoking hot. Brush the corn with the oil, then char for about 15 minutes, turning every so often. Transfer to a serving plate, sprinkle with ½ tsp salt and some freshly ground black pepper; set aside and keep warm.

  2. Put the butter in a small pan and set over a medium heat. Once starting to foam, add the chillies and cook for 1 minute. Remove from the heat, then stir through the lime juice, mint leaves and the remaining ¼ tsp salt. Brush generously over the corn cobs, scatter over the feta and serve.

LEFTOVERS Feta

Put the feta on a baking tray with tomatoes, shredded mint and a drizzle of oil. Cover and bake until soft. Drizzle with a little honey and lemon juice, then serve with flatbreads to scoop it up.
