Caribbean Marinade

Another part of the meal that I mentioned in my very first post was marinated & grilled chicken. It's only fair for me to share the recipe for the marinade I used, as it's fantastic. We use this marinade quite frequently (so much so that Tom often has to convince me to give the other marinades a fair chance!) - I hope you enjoy it as much as we do!

Caribbean Marinade
Makes: 1/4 cup of marinade
Prep Time: 5 minutes
Total Time: 65 minutes

The meat only needs 1 hour in the marinade, but can be refrigerated in the marinade overnight if desired. This marinade is best with pork or chicken.

1/4 cup olive oil
1/4 cup minced fresh parsley (I use just a small shot of dried)
3 garlic cloves, minced
1 tsp cumin
1 tsp chili powder
1 tsp salt
1/2 tsp allspice
1/2 tsp pepper
1/4 tsp cinnamon



I typically pour the marinade over the cubed chicken in a lidded container then refrigerate for an hour or more before either skewering the chicken and BBQing it or grilling it up in our cast-iron grill pan on the stove. 
SO YUMMY!!

 Star-Reviewer Tom gives this recipe 4/5 plate-licks

  1. we enjoyed this the other night with some fabulous fried potatoes. yum. i wish i had grilled the chops (i cooked them in the oven), but it was raining and neither of us felt like barbecuing anything... :)
