There has been a lot of buzz about grilling on the outdoor grill and about carcinogens. The information describes how marinating meats, seafood, and vegetables protect you from the negative effects of outdoor grilling. Nutritionists believe that the marinade creates a buffer between the meat and the smoke and grilling process.
The good part is that marinating is so easy. What ingredients work is only limited by your imagination! Today I found a recipe to marinate halibut with honey, balsamic, orange juice and a splash of extra virgin olive oil. Sounds yummy. If you create something unique, e-mail it to us and I’ll share it with everyone.
