1 Place all ingredients in a blender and whizz until smooth. Use to marinate meat for at least 1 hour or overnight.

2 Once marinated, heat a non-stick pan until hot and cook meat until evenly seared on all sides. Leave to rest for 10 minutes then slice just before serving.

Serving suggestion

Works well with chicken, lamb and fish. Serve marinated meat with a mixed salad.

Variations

HFG tip

Marinade keeps for 2 days in a sealed container in the fridge.
Works well with chicken, lamb and fish.
Use lean cuts of meat.
Place marinade and meat in a non-metallic dish to marinate.
To allow flavours to be absorbed into the food, use a sharp knife to make slits in the surface of the meat before marinating.
Once marinated, keep meat and fish in the fridge covered until ready to cook.
Once cooked, leave meat to stand for 5-10 minutes to allow the meat to rest so the juices re-absorb into the meat.
