Braaied mielie atchar

Woolworths is committed to sustainability via our good business journey. Seasonal (and other) products might not always be in stock.

“Braaied mielies give a smoky sweetness to this pickle. It’s great as a side to almost anything. It won’t last the recipient a week, but can be stored in the fridge for up to two weeks.”

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

Cooking Instructions

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.
