To cut sweetcorn ribs, follow these straightforward steps:
First, prepare your sweetcorn.
- Peel the husks: Remove the outer husks and any silky fibres underneath.
Then, proceed with cutting:
- Halve the corn: Stand the corn on its flat base. Cut it in half lengthwise, going straight down.
- Create ribs: Lay the two halves flat. Cut each half lengthwise into about three ribs. When cutting into ribs, keep some of the central part of the cob intact. This will help the ribs hold together.
