How to Make Exotic Fruits Barbecue Marinade

1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Roast 1 tbsp coriander seeds, 2 star anise, 4 cloves, and 4 cardamom pods for 5-7 minutes, or until fragrant. Let cool slightly, then grind to a powder using a mortar and pestle or spice grinder.
2. Roughly chop 2 stalks of lemongrass and gently crush to release their flavor.
3. In a medium bowl, whisk together the roasted spice blend, crushed lemongrass, 1/2 cup mango puree, 1/4 cup pineapple juice, 2 tbsp lime juice, 1 tbsp soy sauce, 1 tbsp brown sugar, 1 tsp grated ginger, and 1/2 tsp red pepper flakes.
4. Add your meat (approximately 2 lbs) to a large resealable bag or bowl. Pour the marinade over the meat, ensuring it's fully coated.
5. Marinate in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours, or up to 48 hours for maximum flavor. The longer it marinates, the more intense the flavor will be!
6. Before grilling, remove the lemongrass pieces and any kaffir lime leaves (if used).
7. Grill your marinated meat to your desired level of doneness. Enjoy the explosion of exotic flavors!
8. Serve immediately and enjoy!
