Method

  1. Brush the corn with olive oil, then heat a griddle pan to high and griddle or barbecue for about 10 minutes, turning regularly, until charred. Remove from the heat, allow to cool enough to handle, then carefully slice the kernels off the cob. 
  2. In a large bowl, combine the mayonnaise, soured cream, 2 tbsp of the coriander, lime juice and zest, spring onion, and 1 tsp of the chilli powder. Add the corn to the bowl, season with salt and pepper, then toss to coat. 
  3. Transfer to a serving bowl, sprinkle with the crumbled feta and remaining chilli powder, and garnish with lime wedges and the rest of the coriander and ancho chilli flakes if you like it hotter.
