I adore quick and easy meals, but sometimes to achieve real flavour and taste some elbow grease and hard work has to take place.
But an even simpler way to do this is…………
DRUM ROLL PLEASE
Marinating!
Taking a couple of minutes to marinate meats, fish, soy products and vegetables can bring the flavours and texture to a whole new level.
So if you want to find out more and see how quick and easy the marinade is to rustle up, then you can find the full recipe below.
