Method
- Preheat the barbecue to high. Toss the spring onions with 1 tsp olive oil, then barbecue for 2-3 mins, turning frequently, until lightly charred and tender. Set aside to cool completely, then finely chop and mash with the softened salted butter and a little black pepper.
- Meanwhile, brush the corn on the cobs with 1 tbsp oil, then barbecue for 10-15 mins, turning frequently, until tender and charred. Remove from heat and spread ¼ of the butter over each cob to serve.
