I keep seeing all these “Back to School” sales, the number of cookouts to go to is dwindling…and, another sign that summer is coming to a close, STRAWBERRIES ARE ALMOST OUT OF SEASON!
That’s why, this week, I’m going to highlight them, because there are a ton of great recipes that you can make using strawberries in your Magic Bullet.
ALSO, the good thing about strawberries going out of season is that you can find them on sale EVERYWHERE! Pints are currently 2-for-1 at my local grocery store, so you really can’t beat that!
There are countless combinations of smoothies and desserts you can use strawberries in, but I thought I’d switch things up and do something a little unusual with this sweet little fruit.
Following is a strawberry marinade that will be a total hit at your next cookout, turning every savory dish into something that’s a little sweet, too. You can use this on steaks, sausages, and even vegetarian BBQ foods.
The best part is that this marinade can DOUBLE as a salsa for chips! It will be a little sweet and sour, so I would recommend pairing it with some lime-flavored chips.
Here ya go, y’all!
STRAWBERRY MARINADE
Ingredients:
1 cup strawberries
1 cup pineapple
1/2 cup mango
1″ of ginger
2 tbs lemon juice
2 tsp sugar
Chop the strawberries, pineapple, and mango and put them in your large Magic Bullet cup. Peel the ginger and chop roughly before adding it. Throw in the remaining ingredients and give this all a quick whirl in your Bullet!
Voila!
For marinating, you REALLY don’t need much AT ALL, in fact, in my picture, I used a little too much. You can just BRUSH this on your meats while they’re cooking, or soak them in it for a few hours before cooking. Just remember not to reuse any marinade that raw meats have been sitting in, unless you boil it for 3-4 minutes before to kill off any bacteria.
Have a great week everyone! I’ll be back Wednesday with a SWEET TREAT!
