The little things... Chilli Corn Delights!

The little things are what makes a meal! You can have the most glorious, delicious, succulent roast pork as the staple of your meal, crispy crackling and heavenly gravy, however that meal can all go to waste if the sides are not as equally scrumptious.

This post is to show you what a few simple (and very cheap!) ingredients can do, to make a meal look AND taste even better!

I made this quick little recipe up on a Sunday night. I had eaten breakfast, brunch and lunch that day (as you do on a Sunday) and I didn't feel like a big meal! You know when you look in the fridge and nothing jumps straight out at you, you wonder around your kitchen aimlessly trying to figure out what it is that you actually feel like, well that was me for about 2 hours on Sunday night!

Eventually I looked in the freezer and saw a bag of frozen corn cobs - and then my stomach growled! This was exactly what I felt like. Heavenly corn on a cob with butter - but with a twist!


Below is the (very small) list of ingredients and the "method" of how to cook it. Nothing I post will be confusing and all of my recipes are very easy to follow - so enjoy! For the cheaper version, use frozen corn cobs, however my number one rule is -

Chilli Corn Delights.
Serves 3Gluten Free & Vegetarian Friendly

 

Ingredients:

6 x Frozen or fresh corn cobs (frozen is cheaper, but fresh is always best!)

1 x red long chilli (chopped finely)

1 x handful fresh mint (I grow mine in a small pot - gives it a nice touch!)

100g butter (if you want, you can just do oil, but good unsalted butter is delicious!)

Salt and Pepper (to taste)
1 x tsp. crushed garlic (you can get this on the cheap at Woolworths!)

 

Method:

1. Boil the corn in a pot of water until tender then drain water

2. Place butter and garlic in the pot with corn

3. Once butter has melted, add all other ingredients. 

4. Fry corn in pot until browning slightly

5. Present corn in a bowl with a spring of mint and a twist of salt and pepper.

 

The end result will blow your mind with the chilli and mint flavours! The mint leaves will have soaked up all the butter and chilli and taste absolutely scrumptious!
