Instructions
  1. First, get the produce ready for the blender – or food processor – cut it as small as you need to (you know, depending on the strength of your equipment).
  2. Add everything to your blender (or food processor)… And give it a buzz-whir until blended. You can leave it thick, like I did, or you can make it even smoother. It’s up to you.
  3. The result can be used to spice up anything from chicken, to pork, to fish, to burger mixes. Generally I like to let the meats marinate for 24 -36 hours, unless it is tender meat, like fish (15 minutes) or chicken breasts (overnight at the most). Then you can grill them with a little smoke, or bake in the oven. Keep the temperatures low and slow – about 225F.
