Grilled corn with garlic mayo & grated cheese — Vegetarian recipe — Grilled corn with garlic mayo & grated cheese

Level Easy

Ingredients

6 Corn On The Cob
2 clove Garlic
6 tbsp Mayonnaise
4 tbsp Parmesan
2 tbsp Chopped Coriander
1 Lime

Method

Boil the corn cobs for 5 mins. Leave in the water until you’re ready to grill them. Mix the garlic and mayonnaise in a small bowl. Just before barbecuing, remove the cobs from the pan, pat dry and rub the mayonnaise into each one.
Season the cobs and grill them until marks appear, about 5 mins. Remove and scatter over the Parmesan and coriander. Squeeze lime over to serve.

Tips for the best Grilled corn with garlic mayo & grated cheese

Taste as you go. Seasoning at the end is fine, but adjusting halfway through gives a more balanced result.
Do not crowd the pan. Cook in batches if needed so everything browns instead of steaming.
Read the whole method before you start and measure out the 6 ingredients first — it keeps the pace relaxed once the heat is on.
Rest the finished dish for a few minutes before serving — it lets the flavours settle and the texture firm up.

Variations

Vegetable boost: stir in a handful of spinach, peas or diced peppers in the last few minutes of cooking.
Spicier version: add a pinch of chilli flakes or a sliced fresh chilli with the aromatics.

Serving ideas

Finish with fresh herbs and serve family-style in the middle of the table.

Storage

Best eaten fresh. Leftovers keep covered in the fridge for 2 days; reheat in a hot pan or oven rather than the microwave to bring the crispness back.
