Moroccan Style Marinade Recipes

Steps:

• Mix all the ingredients in a glass bowl. Add 4 servings of the meat of your choice (1 lb boneless or 2 lb bone-in). Mix to combine, cover and refrigerate for 4 hours (only 30 minutes for seafood or prawns).

Steps:

• In a small skillet, lightly toast cumin seeds, fennel seeds, chile flakes, and coriander seeds over low heat until fragrant. Transfer to large shallow baking dish and add olive oil, wine, orange peel, salt, thyme, parsley, cilantro, garlic, and ginger; stir to combine.

Steps:

• Combine all ingredients, mix well.
• Cover & refrigerate until required.

Steps:

• Whisk olive oil, 1/4 cup mint, cilantro, 2 tablespoons lemon juice, honey, 1 1/2 teaspoon salt, 2 cloves garlic, paprika, cumin, coriander, cinnamon, and cayenne in a large bowl. Reserve 1/4 cup marinade in a separate bowl.
• Place chicken in a large resealable plastic bag. Pour marinade over chicken. Press air out of the bag and seal tightly. Turn the bag to distribute the marinade. Place in a bowl and refrigerate for 5 hours.
• Whisk yogurt, 1/2 cup lemon juice, 1/4 cup mint, 2 cloves garlic, lemon zest, and 1 teaspoon salt together in a bowl to make sauce. Cover and place in the refrigerator.
• Toss green bell peppers and red onion in the reserved 1/4 cup marinade. Remove chicken from the bag and discard all marinade. Thread chicken, peppers, and onion alternately onto skewers.
• Preheat an outdoor grill for medium-high heat and lightly oil the grate. Arrange skewers on the grill. Close lid and cook, turning once or twice, until chicken is firm to the touch, 8 to 10 minutes. Remove from grill and let stand for 2 to 3 minutes. Serve with cold sauce.

Steps:

• Wipe the fish dry with paper towels.
• Combine all the ingredients in a blender and mix until smooth. Coat the fish, inside and out, with the marinade and leave for an hour at room temperature.
• Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
• Bake the fish for 20 to 30 minutes or until cooked.

Steps:

• Mix cumin, cinnamon, paprika, coriander, cloves, ginger, salt, garlis, lemon juice, olive oil well.
• Slice the chicken into whatever size piece you prefer, remembering that the larger the piece, the longer the cooking time.
• Marinate the chicken in the spice mix for at least 5 mins - works best if left overnight for flavours to develop.
• Then fry chicken or BBQ it, whatever!
• Prepare instant cous cous as per directions on packet, then once cooked, use a fork to fluff the couscous with the butter.
• Add the sultanas, lemon rind and almonds to the couscous mix.
• Serve the chicken on the cous cous.
• The chicken pieces also make a great addition to a green salad.
• Add some chick peas to really impress.

Steps:

• Trim excess fat from leg of lamb. Make shallow incisions into the leg and insert a garlic sliver in each.
• Combine the spices with oil, lemon juice, minced garlic and fresh coriander to make a paste. Rub the paste over the lamb, place it in a roasting pan, cover and let stand 3 to 4 hours in a cool place or overnight in the refrigerator.
• Preheat oven 350 degrees. Roast leg of lamb to the desired degree of doneness, basting once or twice during roasting. After about one hour and 10 minutes, internal temperature should be 120 to 125 degrees, medium rare. Allow to rest 10 minutes before carving. Juices can be used to make a gravy if desired. To do so pour fat from roasting pan, add the boiling water and, scraping the pan, cook over medium-high heat 2 to 3 minutes. Strain into a sauceboat.

Steps:

• In a small bowl, combine the coriander, cumin, chile powder, brown sugar, salt, cinnamon, caraway, black pepper and oil, pressing out any lumps of sugar. On a baking sheet, rub the mixture all over the pork and let sit, covered at room temperature for 1 hour or refrigerate for 4 hours or up to overnight. Return to room temperature.
• Light a grill and oil the grates. Grill the pork over moderately high heat, turning occasionally, until lightly charred and an instant read thermometer inserted into the thickest part registers 135°, about 9 minutes. Transfer to a cutting board and let sit for 10 minutes, loosely tented with foil before cutting into thick slices. Serve with warm grilled naan, haloumi and yogurt.
