How to Make Exotic Fruits Barbecue Marinade
- 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.
- Roughly chop 2 stalks of lemongrass and gently crush to release their flavor.
- 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.
- Add your meat (approximately 2 lbs) to a large resealable bag or bowl. Pour the marinade over the meat, ensuring it's fully coated.
- 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!
- Before grilling, remove the lemongrass pieces and any kaffir lime leaves (if used).
- Grill your marinated meat to your desired level of doneness. Enjoy the explosion of exotic flavors!
- Serve immediately and enjoy!
Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor
Elevate your dish with simple flavor boosters! A final flourish of freshly chopped herbs can add incredible brightness, while a squeeze of lemon or lime juice right before serving can awaken all the flavors. Don't underestimate a sprinkle of quality finishing salt or a drizzle of good olive oil to make your creation shine.
