Steps

  1. For the butter, stir together ingredients until well combined. Line a 6oz/170ml ramekin with plastic wrap and spoon mixture into ramekin, pressing firmly to fill.
  2. Cover and refrigerate until set, about 2 hours. Once chilled, remove from ramekin, remove plastic wrap and place on a small plate.
  3. For the pesto, blitz all ingredients together in a small food processor. Spoon into a small bowl.
  4. For the Mexican street corn, place all ingredients in small bowls.
  5. Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add salt and corn and cook until corn is tender, about 4 min. Drain.
  6. Allow guests to garnish as desired.
