Ingredients

  • 6 cobs sweet corn in the husk
  • 100 g Greek feta, crumbled
  • 4 tbsp olive, plus extra for brushing

  • 1 tbsp finely chopped parsley
  • 2 tsp chopped thyme
  • ¼ tsp dried oregano

The following recipe has been tested and edited by SBS Food and may differ slightly from the podcast.

Instructions

Place a chargrill pan over medium-high heat. Peel back the husks on the corn and remove the silk, leaving the husk attached at the base. Gather the husk together and tie with kitchen string. The husk works as a handle for cooking and eating the corn. Brush the corn with olive oil and season to taste. Cook for 15–20 minutes, turning frequently, until lightly charred on all sides.

Meanwhile, combine the feta, olive oil, yoghurt and herbs. Using a spoon, mash all the ingredients together until the mixture is smooth.

Remove the corn from the heat and spread with the feta dressing. Serve hot.
