Recipe
Ingredients
- 4 whole corn cobs
- ½ cup whole egg mayonnaise
- ½ cup sour cream
- ¼ tsp cayenne pepper
- 1 tsp minced garlic
- 2 tbsp chopped fresh coriander, divided
- 1 cup freshly grated parmesan, plus 1 tbsp for garnish
Method
- Peel the husks back from the corn, gathering them at the base, and strip the silk from inside.
- Heat your barbecue well and place the corn on it, turning it to cook evenly.
- You want your corn to start to blacken and char as that is what gives it such amazing flavour. Cooking it for 3 mins per side is a good gauge.
- Mix the sauce ingredients in a small bowl, keeping 1 tbsp each of coriander and parmesan aside for garnish.
- Once your corn has cooked, brush it all over with the cheesy sauce and then sprinkle with the remaining coriander and parmesan before serving.
- Can be served with a squeeze of lime if desired.
