How to cook

1 · Corn

Drain the corn and pat the kernels dry with paper towels.

Dry kernels brown nicely; wet ones steam and spit in the hot butter.

2 · Browning

Melt the butter over high heat, add the corn and fry for 6–8 minutes, stirring only now and then, until some of the kernels are browned. Season with salt.

3 · Dressing

Tip the hot corn into a bowl. Add the mayonnaise, the juice of half the lime and half the crumbled cheese, and mix.

4 · Serving

Spoon into cups and top with the remaining cheese, ground chili and chopped cilantro. Serve warm with a lime wedge. Enjoy!
