A barbecue wouldn’t be complete without some buttered corn on the cob. We’re big fans of this zesty steamed corn on the cob recipe with lime and chilli butter.

Ingredients
- 6 corn cobs

- Zest of 2 limes
- Juice of 1 lime
- A few pinches chilli flakes (we like aleppo chilli flakes, available from specialist food shops)
Method
- Put the corn cobs in a steamer and steam for 10-15 minutes until bright yellow and tender.
- Meanwhile, mix the butter with the lime zest and lemon juice, and a good few pinches of chilli flakes. Once the corn is tender, transfer to a serving dish and spread with the butter. Serve immediately with any leftover butter.
