Method
Toss the red onion with the juice of half a lime, the honey, a pinch of salt and a splash of warm water to quick-pickle.
Blend most of the oregano with the garlic, remaining lime juice, a little olive oil and seasoning into a spoonable dressing.
Char the corn in a hot skillet until blistered, then set aside.
Pat the okra dry and cook in a little oil for 6–8 minutes, until blistered and tender.
Toast the cassava flour with the pumpkin seeds, chilli flakes and a little oregano until crisp and nutty.
Toss the corn back through the okra to warm, then plate over the dressing with the pickled onion, cheese, cassava crunch and remaining oregano. Serve with lime wedges.
