Ingredients

  • 4 corn cobs
  • 100g butter, softened
  • zest 1 lime
  • 2 tsp chopped fresh chilli or 1 tsp chilli powder, mild or hot, depending how spicy you like it
  • lime wedges, to serve

Method

  1. Soak corn in cold water for 15 mins. Heat a griddle pan or barbecue and, when hot, place the corn directly on the bars. Cook for 30-40 mins, turning regularly, until the corn is tender and charred in spots.

  2. Meanwhile, mash the butter with the lime zest and chili. When the cobs are done, top each with a knob of flavoured butter and serve with lime wedges.
