Summer is on it's way (for us Southern Hemisphere folks that is), and the memories of summer time barbecues are already getting me really excited!
One of my favourite meat marinades is the Edmond's Cookery Book 'Kiwifruit Marinade'. The kiwifruit in this marinade makes it very 'Kiwi' for a New Zealand summer barbecue!
Kiwifruit Marinade
2 kiwifruit, finely chopped
2 teaspoons grated root ginger
1 tablespoon honey
coarsely crushed peppercorns
Combine all ingredients in a bowl. Mix well.
Place meat in mixture, stirring to coat. Cover and leave to marinate for at least 15 minutes, turning occasionally.
Suitable for steaks and lamb chops.
Barbecue your meat, and serve with something delicious (like a noodle salad) and enjoy!

I love the way you photograph and display the delicious meals you put together - yummy! You should link this post up with Lou over at Seaside Siblings - she's started a weekly '4 Seasons' linky, celebrating what people are doing in their homes linked to the seasons. BBQ season is here! Yah!!!!!
ReplyDeleteThanks Sarah - will pop over there now!
ReplyDeleteYum - thanks for sharing. My kids love kiwifruit so definitely worth a try.
ReplyDeleteYummy. Love the look of your noddle salad. Do you use a recipe or simply add whatever you have in the fridge?
ReplyDeleteWhat do you do with the marinade? Do you bin it or cook it up and serve it with the meat? Curious. Sounds yum :)
ReplyDeletethere's something in the acid of the kiwifruit that tenderises the meat apparently ay?
ReplyDeletein Korea they'd add garlic, soy sauce and some sherry to the marinade as well :)
YUM!!!
Anonymous - I just add whatever I have handy. Tonight it was tomatoes, cucumber, grated carrot, yellow pepper, olives and a dash of oil and seasoning. Really yum!
ReplyDeleteAna - Usually I discard the excess, but you could try cooking it up!
Dee - mmmmmmmmm. Sounds delish! Sometimes I do a garlic, soy sauce and chilli sauce marinade!

My sister gave me the tip that when using kiwifruit in baking (I've never used it in cooking! Must try this summer!) it's much easier to slice in half and spoon out, much the way we do to eat it! Makes life easier!
ReplyDeletethat looks really good and i love that color nail polish lol :)
ReplyDeleteThanks for your comments... I love hearing from you!!!
