The sun and sunny days invite us to take our meal outside and finally start the barbecue abandoned all winter. To change sausages and merguez, remember to prepare your own meat or fish by plunging them beforehand in a tasty marinade .
A sweet scent escapes from the neighbor's garden, tickling your nostrils and immediately making you want a summer meal , rich in grills and in mixed salads .
To bring your barbecue on another level, consider marinating your meats, which consists of macerating the food before cooking it.
Resting it in this bath for several hours will give it flavor, make its flesh more tender and even extend its shelf life.
For delicate flesh such as seafood and fish, marinate for 30 to 60 minutes.
For tender meat and in small pieces, such as veal, pork or chicken, allow at least 2 hours of rest.
And for red meats such as beef, lamb, game and large pieces, you will need to let them marinate for 6 hours to overnight; yes, good grilled meats have to be earned.
Put on your apron and wrap your meat in a marinade salty and original with pineapple, spicy with sriracha sauce and smoked paprika or even fresh and exotic with a mixture of coconut milk and lemongrass.
After a few hours of patience, place your pieces on the grill , let brown enjoying the smells that emerge from your barbecue and enjoy. Do not panic if you live in an apartment, cooking on the plancha will do just fine!
Chops, skewers, salmon, prawns or piece of beef, take inspiration from our marinades for a particularly tasty meal!
