BBQ Pomegranate Spicy Marinade
This BBQ Pomegranate Spicy Marinade is the perfect combination of Middle Eastern and Western flavors. The natural acidity and sweet aroma of pomegranate give this marinade a unique character that complements grilled meats perfectly. Pomegranate syrups and juices are traditionally used in Middle Eastern and Mediterranean cuisines to add a deeper, richer flavor to dishes. Here, we have combined it with smoky and spicy spices in a modern BBQ variation to offer a truly unique and exciting marinating option. It is a perfect choice for chicken, pork, or even grilled vegetables. If you want even more intense flavors, try adding a little cinnamon or cumin!

Preparation Steps
1
Peel and grate the garlic and ginger to create a more intensely flavored marinade.
2
In a bowl, combine the pomegranate juice, BBQ sauce, and soy sauce. Stir until the honey is completely dissolved.
3
Add the grated ginger and garlic, then sprinkle in the chili flakes, smoked paprika, and olive oil. Mix well to ensure the flavors are evenly distributed.
4
Pour in the lime juice, which adds freshness to the marinade and helps tenderize the meats.
5
Place the meats or vegetables you want to marinate in a resealable bag or bowl, then pour the marinade over them. Toss well to coat everything evenly.
6
Cover the bowl or seal the bag and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or preferably overnight.
7
Before using, remove the marinated ingredients from the refrigerator and let them sit at room temperature for 10-15 minutes to ensure even cooking during grilling.
