Boil corn for 20 minutes & slice into 4 rounds roughly 1½cm thick. Slice 4 pieces of morcilla on a 45 degree angle roughly 1½ cm thick.

Heat a chargrill or barbecue and place the corn rounds & king prawns on grill, cooking for 3 to 4 minutes each side or until cooked through. Squeeze some fresh lime over prawns as they are cooking. Cook morcilla on a hotplate or pan for 2 minutes each side until cooked through.

Take your butter out of the fridge and slice into 4 rounds roughly ½ cm thick.

To serve: Put a line of four dollops of aioli on plate and drag a spoon through to create a tear drop effect. Place grilled corn on the aioli then stack with the morcilla, butter rounds & finally grilled prawns. Serve with a grilled lime cheek.

Notes

  • Morcilla has more spices/aromatics than black pudding.
