Mielies recipe
Created by The Tesco Recipes team
Mielies, or corn on the cob, is a firm favourite at any South African braai or barbecue. Our corn ribs version is made by cutting the cobs into quarters before being slathered in butter and chilli. The smoky and charred flavour pairs perfectly with grilled meat - happy barbecuing!

Method
- Cook the corn in a saucepan of boiling water for 15 mins. Drain and set aside until cool enough to handle. Meanwhile, mash together the butter, chillies, chopped coriander, honey and sriracha; season well.
- When the corn is cool enough to handle, quarter lengthways to make ribs, then cook over a direct, high heat on the barbecue for 5-10 mins, turning every few mins, until charred and cooked through. Serve with the remaining coriander and the butter on top or on the side to spread over, with lime wedges to squeeze over.
- Tip: You can prepare the butter up to 3 days in advance.
