Helpful Hints:
|
Kids may need help cutting and cooking the meat in this recipe.
The acid in a marinade helps tenderize meat. If you don’t have lemon juice, try substituting tomato, lime or grapefruit juice; vinegar; yogurt; milk; or buttermilk. Marinades also add flavor. Try adding herbs such as marjoram, thyme, and rosemary for more flavor variations.
 |
Safety Tip:
|
Don’t let the oil get too hot. Remember hot oil may splatter when ingredients are added.
If you would like to use some of the marinade for basting the meat as it is cooking, set some of the marinade aside before adding it to the raw meat. The liquid left from marinating the meat should be discarded. It contains bacteria from the raw meat that can make you sick.
