Ingredients
- 6 corn cobs, husks and silks removed
- 100 g (⅓ cup) whole-egg mayonnaise
- 80 g (⅓ cup) sour cream
- ½ lime, juiced, plus wedges, to serve
- queso fresco (see Note), chopped coriander and chilli powder, to serve
Instructions
Blanch corn in a large saucepan of salted, boiling water for 5 minutes. Drain and pat dry with paper towel.
Heat a barbecue or chargrill pan to medium-high. Cook corn, turning, for 10 minutes or until charred and tender. Remove and cool slightly.
Combine mayonnaise, sour cream and lime juice in a bowl and season with salt and pepper. Spread mixture over corn, scatter with queso fresco, coriander and chilli, and serve with lime wedges.
Note
• Queso fresco is a soft, mild cheese made from cow’s milk. Substitute a mild feta, such as Danish, or crumbled farm cheese.
