This is the first recipe in the series Well-Seasoned with @mummylentil, a series of recipes with a focus on seasonal eating as a way to keep meals cheap and reduce the impact on the environment.
Now is the perfect time to soak up the last warm days with a barbecue and, as corn-on-the-cob is coming into season, this recipe is the perfect accompaniment to a chargrilled spread. You can of course cook the corn in a frying pan or even a griddle pan, but there’s nothing quite like cooking over hot coals!
Ingredients
3 corn-on-the-cob
3 spring onions (thinly sliced on a diagonal angle)
A handful of coriander (leaves stripped from the stems and left whole)
1 tbsp tomato puree
1 tsp smoked paprika
1 ½ tsps cumin
1 tsp chilli flakes
½ tsp salt
1 tbsp lime juice
1 tbsp olive oil
Method
Place the corn-on-the-cob on the barbecue (or in a hot pan with a small spoon of vegan spread) and cook for 10-15 minutes, turning frequently. Allow the corn to char slightly but make sure not to burn it.
In a bowl, make the dressing by mixing together the tomato puree, smoked paprika, cumin, chilli flakes, salt, lime juice and olive oil until they form a smooth paste. Taste and adjust the flavours to your liking.
Once the corn has cooked, stand the cobs on one end and use a sharp knife to carefully shave off the kernels.
Place the corn, chopped spring onion and the coriander leaves in a bowl and toss with the harissa dressing.
Serve at room temperature.
