Cajun Style Charred Corn
Spice up your dinner with this awesome side dish
This simple dish packs a lot of flavour and it’s quick and easy to add some pizzazz to a midweek dinner. We selected the Winki-POP Dust from our range to use as the spice base but the South West, The Rip, Zeally Seasoning, Drop-in Jerk or The 13th Apostle would all be equally as good to use. Winki-POP Dust has a Cajun inspired flavour which is why we chose it.
For a salsa or a salad, just slice the corn off the cob after cooking and you will have a really flavourful dish. The charring and spices added to the corn while cooking will provide the salsa or salad with a fantastic flavour and subtle smokiness.

Ingredients
4 corn cobs
125mL olive oil
4 Tbsp Winki-POP Dust
Large bowl of water
Directions
Prep the corn by removing the husks and washing under running water. Then place in a large bowl and cover with water to soak for an hour before grilling.
For the seasoning, add the Winki-POP Dust to a small bowl and pour in some of the olive oil. Mix well, and continue to add olive oil til you get a consistency you can baste onto the corn.
Once the corn has soaked, remove from the water.
Preheat the BBQ or grill to a medium heat.
Place the corn on the grill and cook for 10-15 minutes. Turning to ensure even cooking.
Now baste the corn with the Winki-POP Dust/olive oil mix. Generously coat all sides of the corn and cook for a further 5 minutes or until nicely charred.
Remove from the BBQ/grill and serve
Serving Suggestion: eat as a whole corn cob on the side or slice off the cob and use in a delicious salsa
