Niall McKenna's BBQ Sweetcorn
Ingredients
(Serves 2-4)
- 4 corns on the cob
- 120g butter (room temperature)
- Salt
- Pepper
Optional
- 1 red chilli, deseeded, finely chopped
- Handful of fresh flat leaf parsley or coriander
Method
- Firstly, submerge your corn in a bowl of water for 30 minutes as this will increase the moisture.
- Next, place the butter with a pinch of salt and pepper into a bowl and mix. Add in the optional ingredients and mix again. Place the corn into tin foil, smother in the butter mix and wrap tightly.
- Lastly, place on the barbecue, preferably on a high shelf and cook for 25 to 30 minutes, turning regularly. Remove from the foil, keeping the butter in the foil and BBQ for a minute on each side to char. Serve with the melted butter.
