My new best friend! Check it out on the youtube link below. Gawk & Leer have them in stock here in Cayman and I have to say as skeptical as I was (it was a birthday gift from a couple of friends), I have come to love it.
I’ve had lamb, pork, chicken and vegetables marinate in this for the minimum 1/2 hour and all have then become spectacular - even a skinless, boneless chicken breast takes on the flavour of the marinade and stays juicy on a bbq.
In the past, I’ve usually marinated things overnight but given how time sensitive our lives have become which sometimes results in a lack of planning for daily healthy dinners - this seriously rocks. Tonight I got home from work and placed a pork loin in there with a yummy marinade (if I say so myself - recipe below!) and my lovely husband bbq’d the pork loin which we then enjoyed with a delicious spinach and bean sprout salad - all before 8pm (as all IP’ers know we’re not supposed to eat after 8pm so timing is of the essence if you’re coming in after a busy day at the office).
Easy marinade for pork loin (can also be used for chicken or even vegetables for kebabs)
1-2 inches fresh ginger, peeled and finely grated (I like using a zester as this give you lots of lovely ginger juice)
2-4 garlic cloves, crushed or finely chopped (we like lots of garlic but adjust accordingly)
splash of olive oil
splash of soy sauce
a pinch of pure mustard powder or a teaspoon of mustard (this is optional but if you do use it you must of course ensure it has no sugar added)
sea salt & freshly ground black pepper
A liberal sprinkling of herbes de provence (or oregano or finely chopped rosemary)
If marinating vegetables, add juice of 1/2 - 1 lemon
Mix well and coat the meat of choice (or your veggies) with the marinade - pop the lid on the super duper marinator and suck out the air - light the bbq - once the bbq has reached the desired temperature, your meat or veggies will be ready for grilling.
Bon Apetit!
