Charred corn
HB-17958 · Hand-built original
Boiled corn cobs are charred over a flame and brushed with a mango chutney and chilli butter, finished with lime, chaat masala, spring onion and coriander.
Main ingredient: cobs
Ingredients
- 4 whole (or 8 halves) frozen corn on the cobs
- 1 3/4 oz unsalted butter
- 1 heaped tablespoon gluten-free mango chutney
- 1 red chilli, finely chopped
- 1 lime, zest and juice
- 1 teaspoon chaat masala (optional)
- 2 spring onions, green tips only, thinly sliced into rounds
- 1 handful fresh coriander, finely chopped
- salt, according to taste
Method
- Cook the frozen corn cobs in boiling water for about 8 minutes, following the timing on their packet.
- Drain the boiled corn and let the cobs steam dry for a few minutes.
- Melt the unsalted butter in a saucepan and stir in the mango chutney, chopped red chilli and lime zest, then take the pan off the heat.
- Hold each corn cob with flameproof tongs in the naked flame of a gas hob turned to full, rotating the cob so every side chars; a hot grill or griddle pan does the same job without a gas flame.
- Brush the charred cobs with the mango chutney butter.
- Sprinkle the buttered corn with the chaat masala if using, the spring onion rounds and the chopped coriander, season it with a little salt and spritz the cobs with lime juice just before serving.
