ROSEMARY, CAYENNE & BROWN SUGAR

MARINADES

This rich, sticky, sweet and spicy marinade with rosemary will make your garden smell incredible. For an even more intense rosemary hit, after you’ve stripped the rosemary sprigs of needles, use them as mini skewers for whatever you’re barbecuing. This recipe will make enough for at least 750g of whatever you want to barbecue. Do note, if you’re going to use it for fish or prawns, omit the lime juice and squeeze it over at the end instead – the fish will ‘cook’ if left to marinate in the acid.

20g fresh rosemary sprigs

1 lime, zest and juice

1 tsp cayenne pepper

2 tsp sea salt flakes

3 tbsp olive oil

2 heaped tbsp dark brown sugar

Strip the needles off the rosemary sprigs, then finely chop them and mix with the other ingredients in a large bowl. Tip your prepared meat, fish, veg or a mixture into the marinade, mix well, then cover and refrigerate for a couple of hours to overnight until you’re ready to barbecue.

If you’re going to use some of the rosemary sprigs as skewers, use something sharp to pierce the food first before threading it on to the rosemary.
