To all the sweetcorn lovers out there,
This is a rediculously simple starter or snack that is tasty (if you love sweetcorn as I do) and pretty healthy.
You might be able to guess the ingredients but just in case, you will need sweetcorn, butter and salt to add depending on your tastebuds. Oooh and one of these fancy microwaveable steamers.
- Add a little water into your fancy microwavable steamer (not too much so the water does not touch the sweetcorn)
- Put sweetcorn into fancy microwavable steamer
- Microwave on high for 5 minutes.
- Wait a bit (1/2 minute) so as not to burn yourself.
- Stab the sweetcorn with a fork and put it on a plate
- Put a couple of chunks of butter onto sweetcorn to melt deliciously
- Enjoy!
Remember, the messier the better!
Happy Cooking
This is an extremely simple dish that I started enjoying as a student. I tend to keep my sweetcorn stash stocked up so that at times when it's raining / too cold or I am too tired to leave my flat I have all the ingredients of this simple yet tasty meal.
You will need pasta (100-200g per person). Fresh tastes better if you have it. Any shape or form will do. Note that fresh and certain shapes of pasta are faster at cooking if you're in a rush. You will also need a tin of sweetcorn and some mayonnaise. Salt and pepper if it adds to your happiness.
- Boil some water in a pan (I tend to add salt)
- Add pasta and cook for time specified on pack
- Open sweetcorn can slightly, so that you can pour the juice out into the sink whilst no sweetcorn escapes
- Open sweetcorn can more and pour sweetcorn into a bowl
- Squeeze mayonnaise onto sweetcorn (If you don't have a squeezy bottle you can scoop it)
- Drain pasta when cooked
- Pour pasta into bowl
- Mix
- Add salt and pepper to taste
- Enjoy!
What I like about this dish is its simplicity and tastiness. I absolutely love sweetcorn and the mayonnaise acts like a creamy sauce.
Happy cooking!
