Corn on the cob with furikake butter

"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.

Ingredients

  • 4 sweetcorn cobs (or 2 whole corn, husks discarded, halved)
  • 80g unsalted butter, softened
  • 50g jar Clearspring Organic Furikake
  • Parmigiano Reggiano, finely grated
  • 1 unwaxed lemon, zest
  • ¼ x 20g pack chives, finely chopped

Method

  1. Boil the corn in salted water for 7 minutes, or until tender. In a small blender or bowl, add the butter and all but a pinch of the furikake, then blend or beat until smooth.

  2. Once cooked, drain the corn and serve topped with two-thirds of the furikake butter. Sprinkle with the parmesan, lemon zest, chives and the remaining furikake.

Cook’s tip

The butter makes more than you need and is great 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.
