By Khanya Mzongwana
Makes 800 g
Easy
20 minutes
10 minutes

Ingredients

  • 4 cobs sweetcorn
  • 1 small red pepper, diced
  • ½ cup extra virgin olive oil
  • ½ cup white wine vinegar
  • 1 T pickle masala
  • 1 T paprika
  • 1 t ground fenugreek
  • 2 bird’s-eye chillies
  • 2 T brown sugar
  • 1 medium medium onion, diced
  • 10 g fresh coriander, roughly chopped
  • sea salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste

Method

1. Heat a grill and roast the sweetcorn until well charred, but not burnt. Slice the kernels off the cob and place in a bowl.

2. Add the remaining ingredients and combine well. Pour into sterilised jars and seal. Refrigerate once cooled. Store for two days before use to develop flavour.

Cook’s note: This is delicious on pizza, served with grilled chicken, or with fried eggs and avocado.
