Ingredients
- 4 cobs of corn each cut into 4 ribs
- ⅓ cup butter salted butter is fine
- 2 cloves garlic finely minced
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 pinch red chili flakes
- 1 tablespoon parsley finely chopped
- ¼ cup grated parmesan cheese
- freshly ground black pepper
Instructions
- Cut each cob of corn into 4 ribs. To do this, cut the stem end of the corn so the cob stands upright on the wide end without wiggling. Using a sharp knife, work the knife through the cob cutting it lengthwise in half. Cut each half into half again, so you have 4 quarters, or ribs.
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and simmer the corn ribs for 2-3 minutes.
- Melt the butter in a bowl in the microwave or in a small saucepan on the stove. Mix in the minced garlic and cook for 1 minute.
- Stir in the lemon juice, chili flakes, a few grinds of pepper, and the Parmesan cheese.
- Smother the Parmesan butter over the drained cobs of corn and dig in.
Notes
Chef Jenn's Tips
- Use high-quality grated Parmesan for the best flavor. The powdery kind of cheese works best for this recipe.
- Cook the garlic just enough to mellow its bite without burning it.
- These ribs are best enjoyed warm, so serve them right off the grill or stove.
