CAJUN STYLE CHARRED CORN BY COAST N SMOKE

This simple dish packs a lot of flavours and it’s quick and easy to add some pizzazz to a midweek dinner. We selected the Winki-POP Dust from our range to use as the spice base but the South WestThe RipZeally SeasoningDrop-in Jerk or The 13th Apostle would all be equally as good to use. Winki-POP Dust has a Cajun-inspired flavour which is why we chose it.

For a salsa or a salad, just slice the corn off the cob after cooking and you will have a really flavourful dish. The charring and spices added to the corn while cooking will provide the salsa or salad with a fantastic flavour and subtle smokiness.

INGREDIENTS

    DIRECTIONS

    Step 1: Prep the corn by removing the husks and washing it under running water. Then place in a large bowl and cover with water to soak for an hour before grilling.


    Step 2: For the seasoning, add the Winki-POP Dust to a small bowl and pour in some of the olive oil. Mix well, and continue to add olive oil til you get a consistency you can baste onto the corn.


    Step 3: Once the corn has soaked, remove it from the water. This is also a good time to preheat the BBQ or grill to a medium heat.


    Step 4: Place the corn on the grill and cook for 10 - 15 minutes. Turning to ensure even cooking.


    Step 5: Now baste the corn with the Winki-POP Dust/olive oil mix. Generously coat all sides of the corn and cook for a further 5 minutes or until nicely charred.


    Step 6: After 5 minutes, remove from the BBQ/grill and serve.


    Serving Suggestion: Eat a whole corn cob on the side or slice off the cob and use it in a delicious salsa. Top with some melted butter, chopped fresh large red chilli and spring onion for that extra flavour hit.
