Marna’s handy tips

  • Marinating times:
    • Vegetable and fish: 30 minutes to 1 hour
    • Beef, chicken, venison, lamb, and pork: 6 to 24 hours
  • For a bit of a kick, add 1 teaspoon paprika and chilli flakes to the herbs
  • Lemon and vinegar are natural meat tenderiser to ensure juicy, soft and delicious dishes.
  • Try to avoid using products with salt and sodium containing ingredients.
