Smokey Corn and Tomato Bruschetta

This vibrant sweetcorn and tomato bruschetta is a sophisticated vegan starter that celebrates the bright, bold flavours of outdoor cooking. By charring fresh corn on the cob alongside vine-ripened tomatoes and red onion, you create a deeply savoury base that feels far more substantial than a standard salsa. The addition of hot smoked Spanish paprika provides a gentle heat and a complex, wood-fired aroma that perfectly complements the natural sweetness of the grilled vegetables.

Ideal for summer entertaining or a light lunch, this colourful dish can be prepared up to three hours in advance, allowing the garlic and lime juice to marinate the vegetables beautifully. Serving the mixture with thick slices of grilled country bread provides a satisfying crunch. It is an excellent choice for those seeking a plant-based option that does not compromise on texture or depth of flavour.

How to make Smokey Corn and Tomato Bruschetta

Prepare barbecue (medium heat). Brush corn and onion with oil; sprinkle lightly with salt and pepper. Place corn, onion halves, and tomatoes on grill. Cook until corn is charred, onion is just tender, and tomato skins are blistered and loose, turning often, about 12 minutes for tomatoes and 15 minutes for corn and onion. Transfer to foil-lined baking sheet and cool. Brush bread with oil; sprinkle with salt and pepper. Grill until crisp, about 2 minutes per side. Core tomatoes and cut in half horizontally. Gently squeeze out or spoon out juices and seeds. Coarsely dice tomato flesh and place in medium bowl. Cut corn kernels from cob; add kernels to tomatoes. Chop onion; add to tomatoes. Mix in garlic, lime juice, paprika, and 1 tablespoon oil. Season to taste with salt and pepper. DO AHEAD Can be made 3 hours ahead. Cover; let stand at room temperature. Serve with grilled bread.
