Elote is a great street food in Mexico. It consists of boiled or roasted corn on the cob topped with all sorts of delicious things – including cheese, chilli and mayo. In this recipe, we use fire-roasted corn for the smokey, caramelized flavour. We then cut the corn off the cob and use it to make a tasty salad. Great to make and serve at your next braai!

3. Remove the corn from the flame, cover with foil and leave to cool.
4. Slice the corn off of the cobs and gently loosen the kernels from each other with a spoon.
5. Add the onion, feta, mayo, and seasoning and stir until combined.
