Smoky corn with spring onion cream cheese and maple syrup

By Hannah Lewry
8
Easy
5 minutes
15 minutes

Ingredients

  • 8 corn cobs, in their husks
  • Olive oil, to taste
  • Sea salt, to taste
  • Woolworths spring onion-and-chive medium-fat cream cheese, for serving
  • Spring onions, sliced, to taste
  • Maple syrup, for drizzling

Method

Place cobs corn, in their husks, on a grid over medium coals and braai, turning often, until the husks have blackened and the corn has steamed – about 15 minutes.

Remove the husks, rub the corn with olive oil, sprinkle with sea salt and char slightly over the coals for a few minutes for a smoky flavour.

Serve hot with a dollop of Woolworths spring onion-and-chive medium-fat cream cheese, sliced spring onion and a drizzle of maple syrup.

Cook's note: This side is delicious with Woolies barbeque lamb ribs or Portuguese peri-peri butterflied chicken.
