Zesty, juicy, spicy and aromatic. This Mexican inspired marinade is one to remember as it can be used for many types of meat and seafood.
Ingredients:
- 3 x tbsp Extra Virgin Olive oil
- 4 x garlic cloves minced
- 2 x tbsp fresh Lime juice
- 4 x heaped tbsp chopped fresh Coriander, stems & leaves
- 1 x tsp chilli flakes
- 1 x small fresh red chilli (optional)
- 1/2 tsp salt or more to taste
- plus
- a few fresh lime wedges for garnish
- some chopped coriander leaves for garnish.
Add all ingredients together in a large bowl and mix well to combine thoroughly.
Now you can choose to add whatever meat/fish you are using and add to marinade and leave for at least an hour if not overnight.
I was using chicken fillets and halloumi cheese as I was also cooking for a couple of vegetarians. I split the marinade into two bowls and added the chicken to one and the halloumi to the other and popped into fridge overnight.
