Grilled corn with miso butter and bonito flakes makes a great barbie side dish.Marcel Aucar

Grilled corn is a barbecue classic but these Japanese flavours make it special. Red miso (made from fermented soybeans and barley) and bonito flakes are fantastic staples to have in the cupboard – they are great additions to lots of dishes. For vegetarians, leave out the bonito flakes, as they are finely sliced dried tuna.

Ingredients

  • 6 corn cobs, stripped and cleaned

  • Olive oil for brushing

  • 70g butter, softened

  • 1 tbsp red miso

  • 2 tbsp toasted sesame seeds

  • 6 large pinches bonito flakes

Method

  1. Preheat the barbecue grill. Brush a little oil over the cobs then place them on the hot grill.

    While they are cooking mix the butter and miso and set aside. When the corn is toasted take off the heat and let cool a little or the butter will run off immediately.

    Brush them liberally with miso butter, put on a serving plate, then sprinkle with sesame seeds and bonito flakes. Serve immediately.
