Name: Corn on the cob with furikake butter
Prep time: 5 min
Cook time: 10 min
Total time: 15 min
Yield: 4
Ingredients: 4 sweetcorn cobs (or 2 whole corn, husks discarded, halved); 80 g unsalted butter, softened; 5 tbsp Clearspring Organic Furikake, plus extra for sprinkling; Parmigiano Reggiano, finely grated; 1 unwaxed lemon, zest; 20 g pack chives, finely chopped

"Furikake is one of my most trusted seasonings," says Waitrose cook Charmaine Katz. "It’s full of black and white sesame seeds, nori, dulse and shiso flakes – a real umami bomb." It's blended here with softened butter, then spread on corn. If this hits the spot, make the most of our sweetcorn recipes. Follow Charmaine on Instagram.

4 sweetcorn cobs (or 2 whole corn, husks discarded, halved)
80g unsalted butter, softened
5 tbsp Clearspring Organic Furikake, plus extra for sprinkling
Parmigiano Reggiano, finely grated
1 unwaxed lemon, zest
¼ x 20g pack chives, finely chopped

Boil the corn in salted water for 7 minutes, or until tender. In a small blender or bowl, add the butter and furikake, then blend or beat until completely smooth.
Once cooked, drain the corn and serve topped with two-thirds of the furikake butter. Sprinkle with the parmesan, lemon zest, chives and some more furikake.

Cook’s tip

This recipe makes more butter than needed, so use it on noodles or pasta. If you forget to take it out of the fridge, grate it before adding it to the blender to help soften it.
