Corn becomes extra special when cooked this way. Great as a meal starter or to serve at a barbecue.

Blend the butter with ginger, chilli, coriander, mint, zest and peppercorns. Refrigerate. Soak whole cobs in water for 10 minutes then remove the silky tassels. Gently pull husks away from cobs and slather with the spicy butter. Press husks back in place and grill or barbecue until charred.
