Braised Sweetcorn With Chard

Try to get a slightly brown colour on the corn kernels as this imparts a faintly caramelised, smoky flavour.

Preparation Time: 15 minutes

Cooking Time: 45 minutes

Serves: 4 people

Ingredients

• 2 corn cobs
• 50g butter
• 1 garlic clove, crushed
• 300g fresh chard leaves
• sea salt + freshly ground black pepper

Instruction

1. Stand each cob upright on a board and cut downwards with a sharp knife in a sawing action to remove the kernels.
2. Melt the butter in a pan, add the corn, then cover and cook gently for 10 minutes, until just tender and lightly coloured.
3. Add the garlic and mix well. Meanwhile, blanch the chard in boiling salted water for a minute, then drain and refresh in cold water. Squeeze out excess water, chop the chard roughly and add to the corn.
4. Cook for 3 minutes or so, until heated through, then season with salt and pepper and serve.
