One of the most delicious ways to cook and serve corn, this Mexican Street Corn is a great recipe to serve at a barbecue or alongside some tacos for dinner. By grilling the corn until slightly blackened, the flavour of the corn becomes caramelised and slightly smoky. A mixture of yogurt, neutral whey protein, feta cheese and hemp seeds is brushed onto the corn in a creamy layer. This helps a sprinkling of chilli flakes and coriander to stick to the corn for an extra hit of fresh & spicy flavour.

Preparation

1

Combine the yogurt, whey protein, mayonnaise, garlic and hemp seeds in a bowl, whisking until fully combined. Taste and season with salt, as needed.

Remove the husks from the ears of corn and place the corn cobs onto a barbecue or a griddle pan on the stove over a high heat. Grill, turning occasionally, until blackened in patches all over.

Remove the corn from the heat then brush all over with the mayonnaise mixture. Place the crumbled feta onto a plate and roll the corn in it so it sticks to the cobs.
