Whether you’re planning a BBQ or looking for some ideas for evening meals with the family, a good marinade and some of our organic meat is a match made in heaven. Marinating is the perfect way to add extra flavour to your meals, whether you opt for chicken, beef, lamb or pork, leaving your meat to soak in sauces overnight will give your dishes an extra kick of flavour.

If you’re new to marinating and need a few hints and tips, take a look at our guide below to create a succulent, tasty dish for you and your family.

Creating A Marinade - Start with a base like yogurt, oil, stock, tomato puree, vinegar, wine or coconut milk. Add herbs and spices to create the flavour, then season with salt and pepper. You could also add vegetables like onions, peppers and garlic or even a little sugar to create a sweeter flavour.

Cooking - Wrap the salmon in foil and grill in an oven

Meat - Chicken Breasts/Thighs

Time - 2 Hours

Meat - Pork Chops

Time - 2 Hours

Cooking - Place the pork chops under the grill and cover with foil to cook

Meat - Beef Steak
