Free Spicy BBQ Marinade Recipe

Try my free spicy BBQ marinade recipe if you remember to plan 24 hours in advance. Yes this one’s a long one but it is worth the wait and works really well with chicken pork or lamb.

Equally you can do it as steaks or kebabs. The marinade tenderises the meat as well as imparting flavour so you can make up kebabs safe in the knowledge that you’ll get a great result and the meat won’t dry out.

It’s got the traditional Indian spices in there including chilli powder and of course you can add a little more than I have if you fancy something a little hotter.

Ingredients:-

• 2 teaspoons cumin seeds
• 1 teaspoons coriander seeds
• 4 cloves
• 2 bay leaves
• 1 onion finely chopped
• 2 garlic cloves finely chopped
• 5 cm or 2 inches root ginger finely chopped
• 1 teaspoon chilli powder
• 1 teaspoon ground turmeric
• 150ml or ¼ pint yoghurt
• Juice of one lemon

Method:-

Take a frying pan and gently fry the seeds, cloves and bay leaves until the bay leaves crisp up. Take a lungful of the aromas – fantastic! Cool the contents of the pan, tip it into a pestle and mortar and grind away to create a powder.

Take your marinating bowl and throw in all the ingredients together with the yoghurt and give it a stir.

If you’re making kebabs, dice up your meat before putting it into the marinade because this will give a greater surface area for the marinade to work on.

Add your chosen meat, refrigerate and marinate for 24 hours giving it a stir every few hours if you remember (I usually forget!)

Medium hot coals and you’re ready to go.

If doing kebabs I like to serve in a pitta with salad and a little extra yoghurt. Great finger food and a delicious lunchtime snack.
