Ahhh the Onion, yes, we use an amazing amount of onions, red pepper and
ginger in our home, most dishes involve at least one good sized onion.
Here's an easy marinade for the BBQ - Ghanaian style
Wash your chicken or meat, drain well, season with your favorite grill
seasoning or season salt and set aside.
Then chop 3 med onions, 1"-2"inch piece of fresh ginger peeled, 3
gloves of garlic and 2 habenero peppers (optional) put this all in the
blender and make what I call an "Onion Smoothie" DO NOT ADD WATER let
the onions break down for liquid.
Pour the onion smoothie over the meat and refrigerate for at least 2
hours (longer the better)
Grill to your taste, it's great for chicken, pork, lamb, goat, beef,
etc.
This size batch is enough for 5+lbs of meat
