3 ways with Mayonnaise

Elotes

Elotes are a classic Mexican street food and our favourite way to eat corn. Zingy, spicy and creamy, this is a winner. Traditionally the Mexican cheese cotija is used to garnish, which is vaguely similar to feta. We’ve opted for parmesan, however, for an extra savoury kick.

4 tbsp mayonnaise ½ lime, juiced, plus extra wedges to serve ½ tsp mild chilli powder, plus extra to serve a small handful of coriander, finely chopped 4 corn on the cobs 50g parmesan, finely grated

1 Mix together the mayo, lime juice, chilli powder and coriander with a little seasoning in a shallow bowl. Fill a pan with lightly salted boiling water and cook the cobs for 3-4 mins or until just tender, then drain really well.

2 Heat a griddle pan or BBQ to high and grill the cobs for 4-5 mins, turning occasionally, until charred. Cool for a minute or two, then tip into the shallow bowl and turn around until fully coated in the mayo mixture.
