Chargrilled Sweetcorn With Chilli And Coriander Butter

Here is the first of many.

Ingredients

• 4 whole ears of sweetcorn, husks removed
• 2 tsp veg or olive oil
• 2 tbsp butter
• 1 red chilli, deseeded + very finely chopped, or more to taste
• small bunch coriander leaves, roughly chopped
• squeeze of lime
• salt + pepper

Method

1. Boil the sweetcorn in unsalted water for 4 mins until just tender and drain.
2. Heat a cast iron griddle or heavy frying pan. Smear the corn all over with a little vegetable or olive oil and place on the griddle or pan.
3. Cook quickly on all sides so that the corn has light scorch marks all over. Remove to a serving plate.
4. Meanwhile heat the butter in a small saucepan. When it has melted add the chilli and allow to infuse for a few mins.
5. Add the lime juice and salt and pepper. Just before serving, stir through the coriander and pour over the chargrilled corn.

Trip Home

So this is a trip home in September from work about. It is about 11 miles and google maps thinks it should take about 22 minutes, it took me 18 with out speeding. 

I was a normal trip that I videoed using the in built iPhone app. I did have to post process it to make it smaller. I was going to use the cockpit recorder app that I had found but as it does not put the speed, direction, and map on the vedio I decided that there was no advantage to using it.

Please note at no point did I exceed the speed limit.
