Method

1. Put a large pan of salted water on to boil. Light your barbecue, if you’re using it. Pull the leaves and silks off the sweetcorn cobs. When the water is boiling, add the corn cobs and simmer for 5 mins. Drain and leave the cobs to cool slightly.

2. Meanwhile, set a dry frying pan over a medium heat. Tip in the pumpkins seeds and dust in ½ tsp salt and a small pinch of chilli powder. Dry fry for 2-3 mins till the seeds pop, shaking the pan while they cook. Tip into a small bowl. Set aside

3. Halve the avocado and discard the stone. Scoop out the flesh and roughly chop it. Roughly chop the tomatoes. Drain and rinse the black beans. Mix them all together in a large bowl. Zest and juice the lime. Reserve the zest for later. Pour the lime juice into the bowl. Gently mix together. This is your black bean guacamole. Set aside.
