Ingredients
- 4 Thai chillies, chopped
- 4 clove/s garlic, finely chopped
- 2 tbsp palm sugar
- 4 tbsp tamarind paste
- 4 tbsp fish sauce
- 4 tbsp lime juice (about 2 limes)
- 4 sweetcorn cobs
- 1 tbsp vegetable or sunflower oil
- 200g mixed cherry tomatoes, halved
- 2 carrots, peeled and finely shredded
- 25g pack coriander, leaves and stems roughly chopped
- 4 tbsp roasted chopped hazelnuts (about 45g)
Method
Prepare and light the barbecue (or heat a griddle pan over a high heat). Make the dressing by pounding the chillies, garlic and palm sugar together in a pestle and mortar (or whizz in a blender) to a coarse paste. Add the tamarind paste, fish sauce and lime juice, stirring to form a dressing.
Brush the corn with the oil, then put on a grill over the hot coals (or on the griddle pan) for 15-20 minutes, turning occasionally, until golden and starting to char on each side. Transfer to a board and allow to cool before carefully slicing the kernels from the cobs with a knife (try to keep some of the corn in large pieces).
In a mixing bowl, combine the sweetcorn, tomatoes, carrots and coriander with the dressing. Mix well to combine, then transfer to a serving platter and scatter with the roasted hazelnuts
Cook’s tip
Tamarind paste Use to add a delicious tanginess to curries and spicy sauces, or swirl through yogurt for an addictive dip.
