. The principle of this BBQ suggestion is to get the sweetcorn to steam and this is why it is soaked for an hour.
TIP - If you can’t get corns with husks on, what I do is wrap the sweetcorn in foil and before twisting the end to seal it, pour in a little water. If you’re feeling gastronomic, you can use a little dry white wine, to be frank it does little for the taste but it’s a good excuse to open a bottle!
Ingredients:-
4-6 ears of sweetcorn in their husks
175g / 6 oz butter
4 teaspoons chilli oil
2 red chillies seeded and finely chopped
2 teaspoons lemon or lime juice
salt and freshly ground black pepper
Method:-
Soak the sweetcorns in their husks for at least one hour so that the husks really soak up the water. Barbecue on medium coals for 30 minutes and prepare the butter.
TIP - If your coals are too hot, the husks will dry out too quickly and the kernels will be hard. Gently does it!
Melt the butter to clarify it, pour off and keep the clear butter and discard the solids. Fry the chillies in the chilli oil for a minute or two, remove from the heat and add the remaining ingredients. Pour in the clarified butter and your done.
When the sweetcorns are done, pour the butter over – lovely!
