Essa’s Mexican Elotes

Serves 2

You will need:

• 2 fresh corn on the cob

• 30g mayonnaise

• 50g Manchego cheese, grated as finely as possible

• 10g chilli flakes

1

Heat the barbecue to a hot temperature. Barbecue the corn cobs on the hottest part of the barbecue until they are nice and brown all over, turning them every 45 seconds or so until the corn has turned a nice golden brown, with a few black spots for a bit of a deeper flavour. This will take 8 or 9 minutes.

2

Once the corn is fully cooked, use a small pastry brush or an unused paint brush to brush the mayonnaise all over the cobs. Then roll the corn in the grated Manchego. After that, all you have to do is sprinkle as much chilli flakes on the corn cobs as you desire.
