Sweetcorn with chilli and garlic butter
This is really too easy and quick to be called much of a recipe - but ooof Buttered Sweetcorn is good!
Sizzled hot corn dripping with a chilli and garlic butter straight from the oven is one of my favourite things. The chillies have to be spicy and the butter has to be salty.
Strip the outer leaves from your sweetcorn and smother the kernels with butter using your hands, place on a large sheet of tin foil and then sprinkle with sliced chillies, tuck some unpeeled garlic cloves in amongst them - sprinkle with sea salt and then wrap the foil so that it seals everything inside.
Pop it in the oven on 200C and cook for around 30 - 40 minutes.
I love this corn with just about anything from sausages with colcannon to a roast chicken salad it's delicious.
By far the nicest way to eat corn cobs!
