The BBQ Report

Marinades are a great way to add flavor and zing to foods before grilling, but what if you don’t have time to wait for several hours for the marinade to work its magic?

Once answer is the marinade paste. This is a thick, sticky marinade that you brush onto your food just before grilling, no waiting required. It not only ads flavor, but creates a glaze or crust that adds a bit of extra texture.

While it won’t replace the tenderizing effects of an acidic marinade, it will help you add additional flavor when you are in a hurry.

Here are some marinade paste recipes to try:

• Fruit paste
• Chipotle Paste
