Servings: 4 as a side
Calories: 315
Ingredients
- 4 corn on the cob , see note 1
- 1 ounce butter (30 grams), see note 2
- 3 ounces chorizo , sliced (90 grams), cut into strips, see note 3
- 3 pears (medium), diced, see note 4
- 3 garlic cloves , finely minced
- flat-leaf parsley , finely chopped, see note 5
- 2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
- 2 ounces feta cheese (60 grams), see note 6
Instructions
- Grill the corn on a grill or pan, and set aside to cool down. Then, cut the corn off the cob.
- In a skillet, melt the butter. Add chorizo strips and diced pear. Sauté for 5 minutes before adding minced garlic. Stir until the garlic releases its aroma.
- Then, add grilled corn kernels, parsley and balsamic vinegar.
- Let it cook for about 3 minutes before turning off the heat.
- Crumble some feta over, stir and serve.
Notes
- If your corn is very large, you might be OK with 3 cobs only.
- Use either salted or unsalted butter.
- If your store does not carry sliced chorizo at their deli counter, buy chorizo sausage and cut it into cubes instead.
- Any pears will work. The riper the pears the shorter their cooking time, so if you don’t want to end up with extremely mushy result, go for pears that are not overripe.
- Parsley as well as cilantro are the best choices of fresh herbs in this recipe!
- The quantity of Feta can be easily adjusted to your liking.
