Fresh Lime & Coriander marinade.

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.

Enjoy!
