Chipotle Corn Salad
SERVES 4 PREP 20 mins COOK 10 mins
Ingredients
- 1 small red onion, thinly sliced
- 1 tbsp red wine vinegar
- pinch of sugar
- 4 corn cobs
- 30g butter
- 1 heaped tbsp chipotle paste
- 300g cherry tomatoes, halved
- 3 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
- 1 lime, zested and juiced
- small bunch coriander, roughly chopped
- 2 Little Gem lettuces, cut into quarters
- 1 avocado, peeled, destoned and sliced
- 50g macadamia nuts, toasted and roughly chopped
Method
- Mix the onion with the vinegar, a pinch of salt and the sugar. Set aside.
- Bring a large pan of salted water to the boil. Add the corn and cook for 4 mins until partly tender, then drain and rinse under cold water to cool. Pat dry then, holding the corn upright, slice down the sides of each cob to remove the kernels. Discard the core.
- Heat the butter in a large frying pan over a high heat until foaming. Add the corn, chipotle paste and a good pinch of salt, then cook for 6-8 mins until blackened in places – don’t stir too often. Remove from the heat and stir in the tomatoes, then set aside.
- Stir the oil, lime zest, juice and most of the coriander into the onions to make a dressing. Season to taste, then toss with the lettuce and tip onto a platter. Scatter over the avocado and the chipotle corn mix, then top with the nuts and the rest of the coriander.
