Ingredients
4 cobs of corn in husks2 cups finely grated hard cheese, such as Cotija cheese, Manchego or Pecorino
2 limes, halved
1 bunch fresh chives, finely chopped
Chipotle Mayo
1 chipotle chilli from 1 can of chipotles in adobo
1 garlic clove, finely chopped
1 cup whole egg mayonnaise
2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
Pinch cayenne pepper, optional to taste
Sea salt flakes
Instructions
Peel back the husks and remove the silks from corn, wrap the husks around the stem and tie.Blanch corn in a large stock pan of boiling water for 6 minutes or until bright golden, drain well.
For the chipotle mayo, put the chili on a board and mince (squash on board with side of knife and chop) put in a bowl with mayonnaise, garlic, lime juice and cayenne. Mix well. Season with salt.
Put the grated cheese on a medium tray.
Heat a grill to medium-high heat and add the corn.
Grill corn on each side for a few minutes until some of the kernels begin to look darker, and a little charred. Add limes and grill cut-side down until charred.
Remove from the grill and immediately brush the chipotle mayo all over the corn.
Roll corn in the cheese, drizzle with extra mayonnaise and scatter with chives.
NOTE:
Chipotles are dried, smoked jalapeños. Adobo is a tangy, slightly sweet red sauce.
