Grilled corn on the cob smothered in lime mayo and cheese.  All i can say is, my life has changed irreversibly.

6 corn on the cob with husks attached

4 tablespoons mayonnaise

olive oil

2 limes

1 teaspoon cayenne pepper or paprika (depending on your kids preferences really)

90g of finely grated parmesan or cheddar (i know some kids can’t stand parmesan)

 

Soak the corn in water for 30 mins.  Place the mayo into a bowl with a drizzle of extra virgin olive oil, the zest from the limes and the juice from 1. Mix well, taste and add a squeeze more juice, if needed. Spread the mayo onto a plate, then dust with the paprika or cayenne pepper and put to one side. Grate the cheese onto another large plate, then set aside also.

Preheat a griddle pan over a high heat. Add the corn and griddle for 12 to 15 minutes, or until the husks are black and charred all over, turning occasionally – the husks will help to steam the corn until tender.

Now the kids love helping in this final part! Peel back the husks, keeping them intact at the base, then roll each cob into the lime-spiked mayo, before rolling into the cheese. Shake off any excess and get stuck in!
