Perfect with grilled meat or fish. Grilling the cobs makes the kernels extra delicious, but you could also use canned sweetcorn

Ingredients

3 corn on the cobs

2 tbsp olive oil, plus a little for rubbing onto the cobs

1 red pepper, de-seeded and chopped

2 red chillies, de-seeded and finely chopped

3 spring onions, trimmed and chopped

Juice of 1 1/2 limes

3 tbsp chopped coriander

Method

1
Pre-heat the grill to medium.
2
Remove any white threads from the cobs, then rub them all over with a little oil.
3
Grill for 10-15 minutes, turning often until the kernels are cooked and starting to brown. Leave to cool for 10 minutes.
4
On a large board, hold a cob upright and run a sharp knife down the length of it, keeping the blade close to the stalk to separate the kernels from the cob.
5
Put the kernels in a bowl and repeat with the other cobs. Allow to cool completely.
6
Add the rest of the oil, red pepper, chilli, onions, lime juice and coriander. Season and stir to mix together.
