Spicy Charred Corn - Real Recipes from Mums

Great as a side dish or added to tacos or wraps … this Spicy Charred Corn Recipe will get your taste buds going!

Ingredients (makes 1 Large corn salad)

3 large Corn on the cob, husks on
3 TBS Hot chilli sauce
Juice from one lime
1 TBS Coriander, chopped
1/4 cup Sour cream
Salt & pepper
Chilli powder (optional)
Lime wedges (to serve)
Chives, chopped (to serve)

Method

Wet the corn thoroughly by submerging in water. Then place directly on to the oven rack of a pre heated 180 degree oven for 25 minutes
Remove corn and allow to cool slightly until cool enough to handle. Remove the silks from the corn and throw away.
Heat a chargrill pan to high heat and grill the corn for approximately 25 minutes, turning occasionally until the corn is evenly charred
When cool enough slice the kernels from the cobs into a large bowl
In a separate bowl, combine the chilli sauce, lime juice, coriander and salt & pepper
Pour the chilli mix over the corn kernels and stir to evenly coat the corn
Top with sour cream and sprinkle with chilli powder

Spicy Charred Corn also tastes great cold the next day! Add it to a salad or make a cold salsa of the corn with diced tomato, cucumber and a little red onion.

I love corn and was actually going to buy some corn on the cob while shopping today. Now I’ll have to wait until my next shop to try this delicious sounding recipe.

Yum. I would love spicy corn but would create a version that is tasty but without coriander and hot chilli. A different spice mix would still be awesome.

Looks lovely. Don’t think my kids would like to eat this spicy though.

Some spicy foods including curries often taste better the next day as the flavour is more powerful
