Introduction from Rukmini Iyer

The secret ingredient in this spiced corn is cumin – it works so well with the Parmesan. Addictive, as all barbecued corn is.

Ingredients

4 corn on the cob
2 tbsp olive oil
¼ tsp cayenne pepper
1 tsp ground cumin
1 tsp sea salt flakes
40g vegetarian Parmesan, finely grated
A handful of fresh mint, finely chopped

Essential kit

You will need: a barbecue.

Method

Tip the corn, olive oil, cayenne, cumin and sea salt flakes into a large bowl, and mix until the corn is completely coated in the spices and oil.

Once your barbecue is good and hot, cook the corn for 2–3 minutes on all sides until evenly charred.

Meanwhile, tip your grated Parmesan into a roasting tin large enough to hold all four pieces of corn on the cob. As soon as the corn is cooked and off the barbecue, tip it into the tin with the cheese, and give it a good shake to evenly coat it. The cheese will start melting into the hot corn – scatter over the chopped mint, and serve with skewers to eat as soon as you can.
