Ingredients
- 3 cups /mugs sweetcorn
- ½ red pepper finely diced
- 1 spring onion very finely sliced
- A small handful of both mint and coriander chopped
- Juice of 1 lime

Instructions
- Heat a heavy based non-stick frying pan over a high heat. Add half the sweetcorn straight from the freezer. As it dries and begins to caramelise, shake the pan to turn the corn.

- Add the remaining ingredients and mix well.
- Season to taste with salt and pepper.
- Serve warm or cold.
Notes
The trick with this recipe is to get the seasoning just right. The salt and lime juice have a real part to play so don't overdo it but don't scrimp either.
