BBQ marinades

[Gibbon]

You're making it very complicated.

True. Buy top quality meat and don't feck it up with all that tulipe. Salt, pepper and a smear of olive oil. Then just cook it properly.

Depends on the meat /fish /veg you are cooking.

What are you trying to achieve; a light spice/sauce, a heavy sauce

The method you use to cook the main ingredients can dictate the marinade you use.

You're making it very complicated. I prefer a freestyle approach with liberal use of cayenne pepper and possibly tabasco; generally this leads to all the chaps saying 'mmmm delicious' and the girls complaining that their mouths are burning, sticking to salads and leaving all the meat for the boys. Result!

I love marinading a leg of lamb in a curry marinade (garlic, ginger, yoghurt, garam masala, saffron and chilli) for 3 days then stick it in a Weber BBQ and cover it so the hickory smoke gives it that lovely roasted flavour.

Cover it in dripping from your frying pan that hasn't been emptied for a month or so, lick off the spare dripping and show both sides briefly to a heat source and devour. Anyone for a BBQ at mine??

For white meat; pepper, worcestershire sauce, lime juice, olive oil.

I do, but it's not something I can put in a recipe; just chuck in some paprika powder, some Worcestershire sauce, some garlic and some olive oil then add anything I think it needs, ranging from cloves to parsley to tabasco depending on what 'smells right'. Works well with kangaroo meat.

Pretty much my approach. Typically garlic, olive oil, paprika, chilli and some soy & pepper then work out which direction you want to go eg ginger/lemon grass, cumin/corriander seeds or just more chilli.

Simples.
