Answer 1

Me and my kids call our marinade 'Georges Marvellous Medicine' after the Roald Dahl book. Basically we take anything we have out of our cupboards and mix it together passing the ingredients around to each person! The main things I always put in though are good quality olive oil, balsamic vinegar, vegetable oil, malt vinegar, chilli powder, tomato puree,fresh garlic, fresh ginger, lots of honey, soya sauce. Then we experiment each time adding things like Thai chilli dipping sauce, marmite, different fresh herbs, sometimes fresh garlic, tomato sauce the list is endless each one is different all have a yummy flavour but especially all have a great chilli kick!

Answer 8

I find it easiest to get a sweet chili sauce and mix it with one part soy...the nice thick rich type soy sauce....and then put in one part balsamic or white wine vinagar and a tablespoon of ground nut oil. A teaspoon of dark sugar will make it nice and sticky for ribs. I leave it on the meat overnight in the fridge and it works pretty well.

For stuff that the kids will happily eat I susbsitute the chili sauce for paprika and tomato puree, put in a dash of lea an perrins and a spoonful of ketchup, this also makes an excellent and cheap bbq sauce if you go heavier on the paprika it can have quite a kick for sensitive souls.
