Ingredients
6 cobs sweetcorn in husks
2 tbsp extra-virgin olive oil
2 tbsp chopped coriander
2 tsp finely chopped red chilli
lightly grilled lemon halves, to serve
Method
STEP 1
Stir ¼ cup salt into a bucket of water.
Trim sweetcorn cobs to remove all but 2-3 layers of husk.
Submerge them in the water and allow to soak for at least 15 minutes or up to 4 hours.
STEP 2
When ready to cook, place whole cobs straight onto a hot barbecue or the embers of a fire.
Cook until the outside leaves are charred and a peek inside reveals the corn is golden and opaque (about 15 minutes).
Remove the husks and silks.
Place sweetcorn on a serving platter, drizzle with olive oil and scatter with coriander, chilli and salt and ground black pepper to taste.
Garnish with lightly grilled lemon halves.
