Corn on Cobb Recipe

Corn on Cobb

Total Time: 20 minutes

Serves: 1

Rumour has it that people in Central America celebrated an abundant harvest by selling cobs of corn drizzled over with fresh lime juice. A beloved Latin American staple, the cultural relevance of the crop in the region, dates back to indigenous peoples’ staple cornfields and even now, continues to enjoy popularity as a quick and easy snack to prepare and have on the go. In this recipe, we swap out the fresh lime juice for a sweet and spicy glaze of kokum and fresh green chillies for a mouth-watering explosion of flavours.

Chef’s note:

  • You know your corn is cooked when you press a kernel and it shoots out its sweet liquid.
  • Do not overcook the corn or it will become mushy.

Ingredients:

  • 1 tablespoon of Boombay’s Kokum + Green Chilli Dressing
