• Seafood: Brush over shrimp, salmon, or tilapia before grilling. 

• Beef/Pork: Works beautifully as a tenderizing marinade thanks to the mango enzymes.

Frequently Asked Questions

Expand All:
How long does the marinade keep?

The recipe tip suggests keeping it refrigerated and using within 3–4 days because it contains fresh mango and herbs.

Can I freeze the marinade?

Yes, the tip suggests freezing it in portions for longer storage.

What if I can't find fresh turmeric or ginger root?

You can substitute with ground turmeric and ginger powder, but the fresh flavour will be slightly different. Start with about teaspoon of each and adjust to taste.

Is this marinade very spicy?

The marinade contains 2–3 yellow habanero peppers. Habaneros are hot! You should adjust the amount based on your personal heat preference.

Can I use a different kind of mango?

Yes, as long as it is ripe and sweet, it should work well. The 'large ripe mango' is key for flavour and texture.

Do I have to make the Garlic Confit? Can I just use a raw garlic clove?

The confit process mellows the garlic's harshness and infuses the olive oil, adding a softer, richer flavour. While you can use a raw clove, the resulting flavour of the marinade will be much sharper.

What can I use instead of an air fryer for the Garlic Confit?

You can confit the garlic in a small saucepan on the stovetop over very low heat ( or ) for about 15-20 minutes, or in a regular oven at () in an oven-safe dish.

Does the marinade need to be cooked, or can it be added after grilling/roasting?

It is designed to be a marinade (used before cooking). If you want to use it as a finishing sauce, you should reserve some before marinating the meat, and perhaps cook it down briefly on the stovetop for safety and a deeper flavour.
