Chocolate chilli pork ribs with corn on the cob

Method

1. Separate the racks into individual ribs, making sure that there is a decent portion of meat on each one, and put them into a non-reactive bowl.

2. Mix the miso paste, ground allspice, chilli flakes, ketchup and ginger together and rub into the ribs. Grate the chocolate over and mix in well, adding a dash of oil just to lubricate the marinade so that it is spread all over the ribs. Marinade the ribs for as long as you can – overnight in the fridge if possible, although this is not strictly necessary.

3. Heat a griddle pan to medium-hot and add the ribs. Don’t cook them too quickly or they’ll burn on the outside. After about 3-4 minutes, or once they’re coloured on one side, turn the ribs and cook for a further 3-4 minutes.

4. Chop each corn cob into three and put into a pan of salted boiling water for 6-8 minutes. Drain, put onto serving plates and top with a knob of butter and salt to taste.

5. Remove the ribs from the pan and serve alongside the buttered corn.
