This vibrant Brazilian side dish transforms simple corn on the cob. The cobs are first boiled, then coated in a punchy garlic mayonnaise before grilling. Once charred, they are finished with a generous sprinkle of grated Parmesan and chopped coriander, with a final squeeze of fresh lime juice adding a zesty lift. It's a flavourful and quick accompaniment, perfect for a summer barbecue.

Ingredients

6 corn cobs
2 garlic cloves crushed
6 tbsp mayonnaise
4 tbsp grated parmesan (or vegetarian alternative)
2 tbsp finely chopped coriander
1 lime cut into pieces, for squeezing

Method

Boil the corn cobs for 5 mins and keep them in the hot water until you are ready to cook. Combine the crushed garlic with the mayonnaise in a small bowl. Before grilling, take the cobs from the water, dry them, and rub the garlic mayonnaise all over each one.
Season the corn and place it on the grill until char marks form, for about 5 mins. Take the cobs off the heat and sprinkle over the grated Parmesan and chopped coriander. Serve with lime pieces to squeeze over.
