Smoke Craft Charred Corn Ribs

Ingredients

• 4 fresh corn cobs
• 2 tbsp oil
• 2 tsp BlixSam Fire Wave
• ½ tsp salt
• ¼ tsp black pepper

• 5 tbsp BlixSam Smoke Craft Sauce
• 1 tbsp honey

• ½ cup mayonnaise
• 2 tbsp plain yoghurt or sour cream
• Juice of 1 lime
• 1 tsp finely grated lime zest
• 1 small garlic clove, finely grated
• Salt and black pepper to taste
• Fresh coriander or parsley, chopped

Method

1. Prepare the corn: Carefully cut each corn cob in half crosswise. Cut each half lengthways into quarters to create corn ribs.
2. Season: Toss the corn ribs with the oil, Fire Wave, salt and black pepper until evenly coated.
3. Char: Place the corn ribs on a hot braai or grill. Cook for about 8–10 minutes, turning regularly, until golden, lightly charred and beginning to curl.
4. Make the glaze: Mix the Smoke Craft Sauce and honey together. Brush generously over the corn ribs.
5. Get them sticky: Return to the heat for another 2–3 minutes, turning and brushing with more glaze until beautifully sticky and caramelised. Watch carefully because the glaze can catch quickly.
6. Make the lime dressing: Mix the mayonnaise, yoghurt, lime juice, lime zest and garlic. Season with salt and black pepper.
7. Finish: Pile the hot charred corn ribs onto a serving platter. Drizzle with the creamy lime dressing and scatter over fresh coriander or parsley.
