Marinades Made Easy

Whilst some people prefer their barbeque meats plain, a marinade can bring a whole new flavour to the occassion.

 

The easiest way to marinade is simply to combine all the ingredients in a sealable food / freezer bag, add the meat to be marinaded, and shake to mix. Alternatively, you can marinade the meat in a shallow dish and cover with cling film. Once the meat is coated, leave it in the fridge for anything from 20 minutes to overnight, depending how much time you have! The longer you leave it, the stronger the flavour will be.
