Serves: 8

​

8 corn cobs in husks

1 cup cooked Duru Coarse Bulgur

50g olive oil

1/4 cup chopped coriander

2 eggs

100g curado cheese, coarsely grated

​

Cut bases off corn cobs. Remove husks, taking care not to rip them. Reserve large inner husks for wrapping corn cakes. Discard silk.

 

Grill corn and slice kernels off cobs. Combine corn with cooked bulgur, olive oil, coriander and eggs in a bowl. Stir in the cheese and set aside.

​

Soak corn husks in boiling water for 1–2 mins, or until softened and pliable. Drain and refresh husks under cold running water, then pat dry using paper towel or clean tea towel. Cut edges of husks to form rectangles. Arrange two husks, slightly overlapping, to form large rectangle, to make casing for corn mixture. Repeat. Divide filling among casings, spooning a tablespoon of mixture into middle. Fold in sides and ends to enclose filling and secure in both directions with kitchen string or skewers.

Bring large saucepan of water to boil, or use steamer. Add parcels and cook for 5–10 mins, or until set and heated through. Drain corn cakes, then serve hot or at room temperature.
