    1 Place all ingredients in a blender. Process to make a paste.

    2 Place paste in a non-stick frying pan and cook for a few minutes to allow flavours to mix together. Cool then use to marinate meat for at least 1 hour or overnight.

    Serving suggestion

    Works well with chicken and lamb. Serve marinated meat with salad vegetables.

    HFG tip

    • Marinade keeps for 2 days in a sealed container in the fridge.
    • Works well with chicken and lamb.
    • 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.
