Method

step 1
Preheat a griddle pan or barbecue until hot. Rub the corn (2 packs) all over with the Cajun seasoning (2 tbsp) and a little olive oil, then char for 8-10 minutes, turning regularly, until golden and lightly smoky. Set aside to cool slightly, then slice the kernels from the cobs.
step 2
Blitz the basil (25 g), spring onions (2), honey (2 tsp), red wine vinegar (1 tbsp), water (2 tbsp), olive oil (2 tsp), a pinch of salt, garlic (1 clove) and parmesan (50 g) in a blender until smooth and bright green. Add a splash more water if needed to loosen.
step 3
Tip the drained lentils (500 g) into a large bowl and add the charred corn, red onion (1), green pepper (2), feta (100 g), yogurt (1 tbsp), lime juice (1) and coriander (10 g). Stir to combine, then spoon onto a serving platter. Drizzle over the dressing and finish with a little extra feta, herbs and lime zest, if you like.
