Ingredients:
2 fresh sweetcorn ears
2 tbsp unsalted butter, softened
1 tbsp mixed herbs (e.g., basil, parsley, coriander), finely chopped
1 garlic clove, crushed (or 1 tsp jarred crushed garlic)
Salt and pepper to taste
Optional: 2 tbsp feta
Method:
Prepare the Sweetcorn: Remove the husks from the sweetcorn and ensure they are clean. Set aside.
Make the Herb Butter: In a small bowl, mix the softened butter with crushed garlic, chopped herbs, and a pinch of salt and pepper.
Butter the Sweetcorn: Rub the herb butter generously all over the sweetcorn pieces, ensuring even coverage.
Cook the Sweetcorn:
Grill Method: Place the buttered sweetcorn on a preheated grill over medium heat. Cook for 8-10 minutes, turning occasionally, until golden and slightly charred.
Oven Method: Wrap the buttered sweetcorn in foil and bake at 200°C (390°F) for 15-20 minutes, then unwrap and broil for a charred finish.
Serve: Sprinkle crumbled goat’s cheese over the sweetcorn just before serving for a creamy and tangy finish. Add an extra pinch of sea salt and pepper if desired.
Pro Tip: Experiment with your favourite herbs to create a flavour profile that suits your taste.
