Chili ‘n’ Nut Marinade

Preparation time: 5 minutes
Makes enough marinade for a serving for 4 people
Ingredients
1 inch (2.5cm) piece root ginger, peeled and crushed
2 cloves garlic, crushed
2 tsp (10ml) red chili powder
1 tbsp (15ml) peanut oil
1 tbsp (15ml) honey
2 tsp (10ml) dijon mustard
4 tbsp (60ml) peanut butter
2 tbsp (30ml) light soy sauce
1 tbsp (15ml) coriander leaves, finely chopped
5 tbsp (75ml) cold water

2. Cook either under the grill, in a non-stick pan, or in a moderately hot oven, depending on the food chosen.
Cooking Tip
This easy marinade can be made up and frozen in bulk. Simply defrost, stir well and use. You can either brush it onto the food, or just stir it into the raw ingredients, cover and store in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours. You can use smooth or crunchy peanut butter, and if you’re a real nut-o-holic, you can even throw in some chopped peanuts.
