Ingredients
- 3 cobs corn, husks and silk removed
- 2 tbsp butter, diced
- 100 g feta, crumbled
- chilli oil, to serve
Eggplant ragu
- extra virgin olive oil, for drizzling
- 1 eggplant, cut into 3 cm dice
- 2 tsp tomato paste
- 60 ml (¼ cup) white wine
- 250 g (1 cup) chopped peeled canned tomatoes
- 1 tsp sugar
- 1 tbsp chopped oregano leaves
- salt and black pepper, to taste
Instructions
- For the eggplant ragu, heat a good drizzle of oil in a large frying pan over medium high heat. Fry the eggplant for 10 minutes or until soft and brown. Add the tomato paste and stir for 2 minutes. Add the wine and simmer for 1 minute to cook off the alcohol, then add the tomatoes, sugar, oregano and 125 ml (½ cup) water. Season to taste and bring to a simmer. Cover and cook for 5 minutes or until slightly thickened and reduced.
- Meanwhile, using a large sharp knife, cut all the kernels off the corn and place in a saucepan. Cover with water, bring to a simmer and cook over low heat for 10-12 minutes or until tender. Once cooked, drain the corn and reserve the cooking liquid. Place the corn in a food processor and blitz until smooth. Return the corn to the pan with some of the cooking liquid and simmer for 5 minutes. Fold in the butter and feta and season to taste.
- To serve, spread a large spoonful of corn on each plate and top with the eggplant ragu. Drizzle with chilli oil to taste.
