BBQ Corn Ribs
Add a delicious twist on the familiar! Simple, easy, and packed full of flavour.
Ingredients
- 4 ears of corn
- 55 g unsalted butter
- 35 g Kansas Kick spice rub (or Memphis Red if you don't want the heat)
- 120 g mayonnaise or vegan mayo
- 30 g prepared chilli sauce
- 15 g raw honey
- 0.5 juice of lime
- 3 g prepared hot sauce
- 30 ml extra virgin olive oil
Instructions
- Preheat the BBQ on high.
- Shuck your corn and trim the widest end so it is flat.
- Stand your corn on the flat, wide end on a cutting board and slice it vertically through the ear's middle.
- Slice the two pieces of corn in half. You will have four ribs per ear of corn. Set corn aside and prepare the other ingredients.
- Melt butter and mix with Big Dog Spice of your choice.
- Liberally brush the seasoned butter on the corn ribs.
- Add olive oil to BBQ and grill for 8 minutes, then rotate and grill for 6 minutes. The corn will be lightly charred, and the ends will curl to mimic the shape of a rib.
- While you cook the corn, prepare the mayo sauce by mixing all ingredients together. If you prefer, serve with whipped butter. Remove grilled corn ribs to a platter and sprinkle with the garnish of your choice.
Notes
- Good optional garnishes include sliced jalapenos, cilantro, cotija cheese (or grana padano), and scallions.
- Mayonnaise can also be replaced with chilli mayo if you want some extra spice.
