I love marinading pork for the BBQ. And Maltese pork is fantastic. I buy it from Prime butchers (found in all the GS/Tower supermarkets), or the few select good butchers around malta, like Charles butcher in Naxxar, or the guys at Arkadia.
I made 2 this week, and they were both really tasty!
ingredients:
Marinade one:
Hoisin sauce
Soy Sauce
Sweet chilli sauce
a tablespoon of grated ginger
a tablespoon of chopped garlic
Marinade two:
Hoisin (very little)
Soy
Sweet chilli
Ginger
garlic
tablespoon of honey (optional)
a dash each of white wine and apple cider vinegar
A teaspoon of dried chilli flakes.(optional)
Enjoy!
What I put in a marinade is generally what i happen to have on hand. I love pork with soy flavours, especially when accompanied with something sweet. I never make the same marinade twice, and the reason i haven't given many quantities is because i happen to do it by sight most of the time. I believe that marinade shouldn't be a huge amount of liquid, as it draws out the moisture of whatever meat you're throwing in there. It should be a thickish sauce, just enough to coat the pieces of meat, rather than drown them. instead of having it swimming in the marinade, just mix up the meat every few hours :)
I quite dislike pork, but Lara's marinaded pork is the only pork I will eat!
ReplyDeletesar, you could use this marinade with boneless chicken thighs for the bbq, it would be just as awesome :D
