Method
- Bring a large pan of salted water to the boil. Add the corn and boil for 4 minutes, then drain. Brush with the vegetable oil, sprinkle with the salt, then place on a hot barbecue, turning occasionally, for 10-15 minutes until lightly charred all over. Set aside until cool enough to handle, then slice off the kernels and place in a bowl.
- Heat the butter in a frying pan and, when foaming, add the almonds and cook for a few minutes until golden brown. Add the spices and a good pinch of salt, then pour off the excess butter and add the almonds to the sweetcorn with the chorizo, chopped herbs and black pepper. Mix well. Combine the extra-virgin olive oil and vinegar, then drizzle over the salad just before serving.
