6corn on the cob

1red chilli, finely chopped

1 tbspcoriander, finely chopped

50gfeta, crumbled

Lime wedges

We've got a zingy, spicy mayo and sour cream base, with charred corn, pickled onions, feta, and lots of herbs.

Method

Start by cooking the pasta according to package instructions. Drain, toss in olive oil, and set to the side to cool.

Squeeze some lime juice over your finely chopped red onion, and leave to sit while you prepare everything else.

Wrap your corn in a wet paper towel, and microwave for 5 minutes. Char over an open flame until the corn is nicely blackened all over. Slice off of the cob.

Whisk together the mayo, sour cream, spices, lime juice, and salt.

Add the cooked pasta, corn, pickled red onion, chilli, spring onions, coriander, and feta. Stir through so everything is well coated, then top with extra spring onions, feta, and lime wedges. Enjoy!
