From chops and steak to sticky wings and grilled mushrooms, marinades can take your meals from “meh” to “wow” in a few easy steps! Marinate your meat the night before for the best results and the most flavourful meat. If indigestion, heartburn or acid reflux has you dreading braai season, then reach for Rennie’s range of antacids – nothing should stand in the way of you enjoying your favourite meals this season!

1. BBQ

This sauce is ideal for basting, a marinade and as a dipping sauce. The secret ingredient is using Woolworths’ liquid smoke to get that smoky, braai flavour into your meat and veggies.

2. Buttermilk

The simplest marinade that guarantees tender and flavourful meat, every time. If you don’t have any buttermilk in your fridge, use amasi. The fat and acid in the buttermilk act as a tenderiser and gives the meat a subtle tangy flavour.

3. Peri-peri

Don’t be fooled by the 3 chillies, this peri-peri marinade packs a punch! We suggest doubling the recipe and keeping the rest in a jar to add to midweek roasts. It’s that good.

4. Teriyaki

This Japanese sauce is both sweet and salty and packs a lot of umami. Use it to marinade veggies like mushrooms and brinjals for vegetarian guests.

5. Yoghurt

If you want tender chops, chicken and kebabs, this is the marinade to make. It’s inspired by the tandoori method of marinating chicken in a spiced yoghurt sauce and grilling until char marks appear.
