Get your pecker around something long and cone shaped. And, bite.
This dish will burst your beliefs that vegan food can’t be super tasty.
Make this:
- When you’ve got the mates over for a barbeque and corn on the cobs that’ll get them gushing for more is the outcome you seeking
- When you’ve just come from a shopping spree with the kiddies and you need a quick and easy that’ll have them satiated

Grilled Marinaded Corn was inspired when holding a barbeque for friends on a hot sunny day with boisterous kids running around.
Although, sweetcorn is a sub-tropical plant it grows in Britain and is harvested towards end of September to October. Sweetcorn is a variety of maize but grown for human consumption. It has its origins in Ancient Mexico when farmer cultivated the kernels (seeds) evolving them to how they are now; long coned-shaped cobs with sweet tasting kernels. Such sweetcorn can be eaten directly from the cob.
