Ingredients
- 6 corn cobs, husks removed
- 100 g butter
- 2 tsp ground chipotle chilli (see Note)
- ½ tsp smoked paprika
- ½ tsp ground cumin
- 1 bunch coriander, leaves picked
- lime wedges, to serve
Instructions
Lay each corn cob on a piece of foil lined with baking paper. Smear the top of each cob with a knob of butter. Mix the spices together in a bowl and sprinkle a little over the corn, reserving the remainder. Add a pinch of salt to each cob and top with some coriander leaves.
Wrap corn in the foil (taking care to cover the paper if cooking with charcoal) and place in the hot coals of a prepared charcoal barbecue, turning them often so they will cook evenly, for 15 minutes. Alternatively, you can roast the corn in an oven preheated to 200°C for 15 minutes or until tender.
Unwrap and sprinkle corn with remaining spice mixture and serve with limes.
Note
• Ground chipotle chilli is available from Herbie’s Spices (herbies.com.au), Monterey Mexican Foods (montereyfoods.com.au) and Fireworks Foods (fireworksfoods.com.au).
