There
is nothing like a flavorful marinade to help boost the flavor of your favorite
meats and vegetables.
Whether
you're grilling a steak, chicken, fish, pork or your favorite vegetables you can't
miss with any one of these easy recipes. Enjoy any of these Indian or Asian marinade
recipes. All
you have to do is add one pound of your favorite meat (poultry, fish, pork) to
any of these recipes. Let the meat marinate at least 4 hours (overnight is better)
then broil or grill, until done, basting occasionally with the leftover marinade.
These
also work well when you're grilling vegetables.
