Notes
- To grill corn on the bbq (husks off), brush corn cobs with a little olive oil and cook on a hot grill for about 12-15 minutes, rotating the corn once it starts colouring.
- Instead of grilled corn you can use 1 1/2 cups of canned sweetcorn.
- Optional extras: chicken or shrimp, diced red onion.
- Leave feta out for a vegan version.
