Chipotle corn salad

You can use yogurt or sour cream with this - I use greek yogurt, as its pretty much the only source of dairy my body can handle - apart from if I’m eating picos :P.

Recipe, makes enough for 4;

THE CORN:
400g frozen corn
2 tbsp butter, melted
2 tsp chipotle chilli paste
6 cloves garlic, peeled and cut into 3
1 tsp cumin
1/2 tsp ground coriander
1/4 tsp turmeric
1/2 tsp smoked paprika
1 tsp lime zest (added after 20mins of cooking)
Salt
Pepper

THE CHILLI GARLIC BUTTER:
3 tbsp butter
3 black garlic cloves
1 garlic clove
1 tsp chipotle paste
1 tsp tomato paste
1/2 tsp cumin
1/2 tsp smoked paprika
Pinch maldon salt
1/2 tsp ground coriander

THE ‘SOUR CREAM’
300g greek yogurt
1/2 lime
Big pinch salt
Drop water

THE TOPPINGS
Crunchy corn
1/2 avo
1 spring onion
Chilli flakes
Lime
1/2 block feta

Method

  1. Preheat the oven to 220°C, and pour your corn into a microwave safe bowl- defrost (microwave for 2-3 mins at 1000W)

  2. To a large baking sheet, add the butter, chipotle paste, spices and place in the oven to melt for 3-4 mins

  3. Add the corn and the chopped garlic and serve well

  4. Cook for 30-40 mins, stirring every 10- add lime zest when there’s about 10 mins left

  5. Mix your sour cream ingredients together until it’s smooth

  6. On a medium heat, melt the garlic butter ingredients together- add the garlic cloves roughly chopped and allow to simmer for around 5-10 mins on medium-low

  7. Chop 1/2 avocado into thin slices

  8. Take the corn out and allow to cool for a few mins

  9. Add the sour cream to a plate, then the corn, and drizzle over the garlic butter. Then add 1/2 avocado, chopped spring onion, crunchy corn, chilli flakes, lime, and crumble over 1/2 block feta.

Notes + Variations:

You can easily make this vegan by switching out the yogurt + butter.
