Baltika #4 Dark Lager Marinade

I enjoy cooking a variety of foods including those foods one can grill. Recently I have ventured into making marinades for grilling beef, chicken and pork. I had looked at many commercially made marinades but most contain HFCS which I avoid like the plague and McFitness clubs! Here's a marinade I created last evening. You will need:

1 pint bottle Baltika #4 Dark Lager beer
2 cups coarsely chopped fresh basil
1/2 to a whole head of garlic, finely diced
4 green onions, finely diced
1 Hungarian sweet wax pepper, finely diced
2 T balsamic vinegar
a dash of salt and pepper

Open the beer and pour into a medium size sauce pan, add the rest of the ingredients and gently bring to a slow boil, then reduce heat and stir on occasion. Allow the marinade to reduce slightly.

Pour over your choice of meat. In the picture I used it to prepare 5 pounds of boneless pork ribs for grilling, letting them sit and soak for 30 minutes before grilling via indirect heat.

Приятного аппетита !
