Makes 4

Ingredients

For the chilli mayo:
  • 3 tbsp. light mayonnaise
  • 1 tsp. smoked paprika
  • 1 tsp. cayenne pepper
  • Juice of 1 lime
  • Zest of 1 lime
For the rest:
  • 4 corn cobs
  • 1 tbsp. coconut oil (melted)
  • 25g feta (finely grated)
  • Chilli flakes to garnish
  • Chopped coriander to garnish
  • Lime wedges

Method

  1. First, wrap the corn cobs in cling film and microwave them in batches of two for 3-4 minutes.
  2. Meanwhile, mix together the light mayonnaise, smoked paprika, cayenne pepper, lime juice and zest until fully combined.
  3. Heat a cast iron griddle or have your BBQ coals ready for cooking, then add the corn cobs. Grill for approx. 10 minutes, turning every 2 minutes and brushing with coconut oil until corn begins to char.
  4. Now brush the corn with the mayonnaise mixture until coated. Continue to cook for 2 minutes then remove from heat.
  5. Sprinkle grated feta onto the grilled corn, garnish with chilli flakes and coriander, then finish with a generous squeeze of lime and enjoy.
