Elotes is a classic Mexican street food that's had a bit of a moment recently in the UK. And why wouldn't it: what could be nicer really than sweetcorn slathered in cheese and chilli and lime? Try slathering it in butter flavoured with all of those things!
Method
Add the butter, chipotle and lime to a blender and whizz it up.
On a BBQ (or under a grill) toast the corn until it has some nicely charred spots. Use a knife to slice off the kernels.
Mix this into the butter along with the feta, the coriander and season to taste.
Roll into a log and chill for a couple of hours or until solid. Use however you wish!
