Red Bell Pepper Marinade

I came up with this marinade because I had some left-over bell peppers which I wasn’t sure what to do with. I started mixing a little bit of this with a little bit of that; the result was this delicious marinade, which I highly recommend. It is packed with flavor to help you create some magic in the kitchen every time you use it. Guaranteed.

Ingredients

  • 1/2 red bell pepper
  • 1/2 orange bell pepper
  • 1/2 large Roma tomato
  • 1 habanero pepper (optional)
  • 2 scallions /spring onions
  • 1/2 regular onion (white, yellow or sweet)
  • 1/2 red onion
  • 6 garlic cloves
  • 2 thumb size ginger
  • 2 tablespoons black pepper
  • 1 tablespoon coriander seeds
  • 1 tablespoon anis seed
  • 1 teaspoon white pepper
  • 2 teaspoons sage powder
  • 1 teaspoon nutmeg
  • 1 large fresh bay leaf (or dried)
  • 1/2 cup of canola oil or EVOO or as needed

Tools

  • Blender
  • Wooden spoon or spatula
  • Airtight jars

Directions

  • Wash the onions, bell peppers, scallions, tomato, habanero and bay leaf thoroughly in water
  • Peel the garlic cloves and rinse in water
  • Peel the ginger and rinse in water

Notes

  • If you’re missing one or two ingredients (e.g.: coriander and/or anis seeds), you can still use the remaining ingredients to make a delicious marinade
  • This marinade can be used for grilled chicken, grilled lamb, and steak. It can honestly be used to season any dish.
