Parmesan & lime grilled corn
Recipe
Grilled Corn on the Cob with Lime Butter and Parmesan is a mouthwatering side dish that’s sure to impress! The smoky, charred corn, grilled to perfection, is slathered in a rich, tangy butter made with lime zest. Topped off with a generous sprinkle of finely grated Parmesan cheese and seasoned with sea salt and pepper, this dish is bursting with flavor.
Ingredients
- 4 corn on the cob (160g each), in husks
- 2 tbsp. (40g) butter, reduced-fat
- 1 tsp. (4g) lime zest
- 2 tbsp. (15g) finely grated Parmesan cheese
Method
1. Preheat a grill to medium high heat.
2. Peel husks 2/3 down and tie with a piece of the husk. This will form a handle for gripping
3. Soak corn husks in cold water for 10 minutes.
4. Meanwhile, blend butter and lime zest in a small bowl.
5. Grill the corn for 10 to 15 minutes turning once or twice.
6. Place on a serving platter and spread with butter mixture; sprinkle with Parmesan.
7. Season with sea salt and pepper before serving.
OPTIONAL: When adding lime to the butter, if you have it, add a pinch of chilli powder too. Not necessary, but very complimentary.
