There is something about Grilling, gotta love it! I know I love this time of year because, one, I am off the hook for preparing our meals at least twice a week. My husband happens to be an excellent grill master. He likes grilling so much that he took a grilling class.
Second, the food tastes incredible. We throw practically everything on the grill including vegetables. Zucchini, eggplant, corn and onions are my favorites.
Third, using different marinades changes up the flavors. Whenever I prepare chicken, I create a new marinade, since they're so easy to throw together. I can let my creative juices flow so to speak.
I know for many of us living with COVID has driven us to drink. I came across this Mojito Marinade and I just had to share it with you . Here it is and I have added a mojito cocktail recipe after the marinade.
Pulse the garlic and onion in a blender until very finely chopped. Pour in orange juice, lime juice; season with cumin, oregano, lemon-pepper, black pepper, salt, cilantro, and hot pepper sauce. Blend until thoroughly incorporated. Pour in the olive oil, and blend until smooth.
Mojito Cocktail
10 fresh mint leaves
1/2 fresh lime cut in quarters
2 tablespoons white sugar
1 cup ice cubes
1 1/2 ounces white rum
1/2 cup club soda
Place mint leaves and 1 lime wedge into a sturdy glass. Use a muddler to crush the mint and lime to release the mint oils and lime juice. Add 2 more lime wedges and the sugar, and muddle again to release the lime juice. Do not strain the mixture. Fill the glass almost to the top with ice. Pour the rum over the ice, and fill the glass with carbonated water. Stir, taste, and add more sugar if desired. Garnish with the remaining lime wedge.
Have a wonderful BBQ!
