Grilled corn with miso butter & nori salt

The deeply savoury, umami hit of miso and nori makes the burnished sweetcorn somehow taste all the sweeter in this recipe by Ravinder Bhogal. It’s compulsive summer eating.

Ingredients

  • 4 sweetcorn on the cob
  • 60g unsalted butter
  • tbsp white miso
  • 1 tbsp clear honey
  • 2 salad onions, greens only, finely chopped
  • 20g ginger, finely grated

Nori & sesame salt

  • 1 nori sheet
  • 25g white sesame seeds, toasted
  • ½ tsp sea salt
  • 1 pinch caster sugar
  • ¼ tsp cayenne pepper
  • 1 unwaxed lime, zest

Method

  1. Begin by making the nori and sesame salt. Cut the nori into small pieces, then whizz in a food processor until you have a coarse powder (alternatively, use kitchen scissors to cut it into tiny pieces, then coarsely grind in a pestle and mortar along with the salt). Empty into a bowl and mix with the remaining ingredients.

  2. Heat the grill to medium. Grill the corn, turning occasionally, until cooked through and lightly charred (10-15 minutes). You can also do this on a hot barbecue.

  3. In the meantime, in a small saucepan, melt the butter and add the miso, honey, salad onions and ginger; whisk until emulsified. Brush over the cooked corn, then generously sprinkle with the nori sesame salt. Serve immediately with a bowl of the leftover nori sesame salt for extra sprinkling.
