Corn Ribs with Smokey Mayo
Corn Ribs with Smokey Mayo
Serves 6
INGREDIENTS:
2 corn cobs
vegetable oil
80g butter, melted
1 tbsp coriander, chopped
For the smoky mayo
4 tbsp good quality mayonnaise
1/2 lime, squeezed
1 tsp hot sauce (or more if you like super spicy!)
1/2 tsp paprika
METHOD:
1. Slice the corn cobs lengthwise down the middle (use a sharp knife, this can be difficult!) then slice again into half lengthwise, and again cut the quarters in half so you have 16 pieces in total.
2. Pour 2 inches of vegetable oil in a large saucepan or deep frying pan and heat until hot.
3. Working in batches, fry the corn until they curl back and look like ribs and the outer kernels begin to slightly darken, approx. 5 minutes. Using a slotted spoon or tongs, remove the corn from the oil and drain on a paper towel-lined plate.
4. Season with salt and toss in melted butter and chopped fresh coriander leaves.
5. To make the smoked mayo, simply whisk all the ingredients together in a bowl. Dip the corn into the smoky mayo for a mouthful of heaven!
