Here's a couple of great marinades that I use all the time. The first is the one I use for Portabello/summer veggies/chicken/pork/steak.
BASIC ALL-AROUND GRILLING MARINADE
(this is a small recipe, I usually double it)
1/4 cup vegetable oil (Crisco)
1/4 cup soy sauce
1 Tbsp. honey
1 tsp. ginger
1 tsp. dry mustard
1 clove crushed garlic (I use the jarred garlic, about heaping tsp or more)
juice of one lemon
One thing I did find with the grilling marinade, chicken breasts can REALLY absorb that soy, and get too strong if left in the marinade overnight - so just a few hours for the chicken. I had started some boneless breasts one time, and the company didn't come, so left them overnight and did them the next day for ourselves, and it was TOO much!
SALMON MARINADE
2 Tbsp. soy sauce
2 Tbsp. orange juice
1 Tbsp. oil
1 Tbsp. catsup
1 Tbsp. chopped fresh parsley
2 small cloves garlic, finely chopped or crushed
1/2 tsp. lemon juice
Enjoy! |
