Step 1: You will need...
- 4 fresh corn ears, with the husks on
- 100 g butter, at room temperature
- 1/2 tsp cayenne pepper
- 1/2 tbsp paprika
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 tbsp coriander, chopped
- 1 tsp salt
- the juice of 1 lime
- 1 bowl
- 1 spoon
- 1 brush
- 2 tongs
- 1 barbecue, charcoal or gas
- 1 bottle of water for dousing any flames
Step 2: Prepare the barbecue
If you have a charcoal BBQ light it 30-45 minutes before you plan to cook. It is ready to cook on when there are no more flames and the charcoal has turned white. If you are using a gas BBQ, light it up and turn it to the highest setting. Leave it for 15-20 minutes to heat up.
Step 3: Prepare the corn
Using your hands, remove the hairy strings from the corn and discard. Then, place the corn into a bowl.
Step 4: Soak corn in water
Taking a large bowl filled with water, pour it over the corn and leave to soak for half an hour.
Step 5: Prepare the butter
To the butter, add the paprika, cayenne, salt, lime juice, garlic, coriander. Mix it all together well with a spoon.
Step 6: Barbecue the corn
Having removed the corn from the water, now place on the BBQ and grill for 20 minutes, occasionally turning them using your tongs.
The husk is left on to create steam and to avoid the corn burning. If it's windy the flames will not be even so move the corn around to make sure they are evenly cooked.
After roughly 20 minutes, brush the corn generously with the paprika, garlic butter. Remove from the heat and place onto a baking tray. Your corn is now ready to serve
