INSTRUCTIONS

To cut corn ribs, follow these steps:

  • Remove the husks from the corn.
  • Hold the cob vertically on a cutting board
  • Using a sharp knife, slice downwards through the middle.
  • Slice each half down the middle.  You will get 4 corn ribs from each corn on the cob.
  1. Wash and dry the ribs.
  2. In a bowl, add the melted butter, smoked paprika, garlic powder and salt & mix.
  3. Lay the corn ribs onto a baking tray. Brush each corn rib with a generous amount of the smokey butter mixture.
  4. Place the corn ribs into a preheated oven at 200 degrees to bake for 17-20 minutes. The ribs should be curled and slightly golden on the outside.
FOR THE MAYO:
  1. Cut the capsicum into quarters and remove the stalk and seeds. Place onto a baking tray, season with salt, and drizzle in olive oil. Cook at 200 degrees for 25 minutes. Remove from the oven and peel off the skins. Allow the capsicum to cool.
  2. In a blender, Add the roasted capsicum, mayonnaise, chipotle, almonds, garlic, coriander, and blitz for 10 seconds, scraping down the sides if necessary.  Season with salt and pepper to taste. This mayonnaise does not have to be completely smooth.
