Method

  1. Get a dry pan very hot and toast the corn 5-6 minutes, shaking it now and then, until it turns deep gold in places. Tip it out to cool.
  2. Cut the cucumber, pepper and red onion into dice the size of the corn kernels. Toss everything with the beans, lime juice, oil and pepper.
  3. Crumble the feta over, scatter the toasted pumpkin seeds on and fold the cilantro through at the last moment.
Chef’s tipToast the corn in a very hot dry pan until it turns deep gold in places, before anything else joins it. Straight from the bag it tastes flat; toasted, it tastes of a grill, and that is the whole difference in this bowl.
KeepKeeps 2 days chilled. Eat cold, straight from the fridge. Scatter the seeds at the table so they stay crisp. Does not freeze.
SwapNo feta? A tablespoon of grated Parmesan, or leave it out and add more lime.
