Step by Step Instructions

Step 1 – Make Red Pepper Dip

First make the red pepper dip. Heat the oven to 190C and drizzle the red peppers with olive oil and roast them until the skin is charred. Allow them to cool slightly and then peel the skin and remove the seeds.

Fry the shallots for 5 minutes until they are softened and coloured, add the crushed garlic and spices and cook for 2 minutes.

Combine all of the ingredients (other than the yogurt) in a food processor. Add the blended ingredients to a mixing bowl and stir through the yogurt.

Step 2 – Prepare Corn & Butter

Slice the corn into ribs by cutting each one into quarters lengthways and through the stalk

Combine the melted butter with the dried spices.

Step 3 – Fry Corn Ribs

Fry the corn in hot oil (170C-180C) for 3-4 minutes until they have curled up and are a golden colour. Remove the ribs from the oil and drain them on kitchen towel to remove the excess oil. Add them to a large mixing bowl with the seasoned butter. Add salt and pepper and toss to combine the ingredients.

Serve with the dip.
