Argentine food at its best! Try this Argentine Spanish Marinade for Grilling Chicken or Seafood
When we want some nice savory Argentine food on the grill, the first recipe that has some to our mind is this wonderful Argentine and Spanish marinade with saffron and fresh herbs.This is awesome for chicken or seafood and brings the flavors of Argentina and Spain together on the grill. The saffron gives the food a beautiful color and shows the grill marks nicely. Also this is a very light and healthy marinade. Extra great when preparing a Argentine mixed grill along with some chimichurri. This is outstanding on shrimp and seafood and also for vegetarian items such as grilled potato, artichoke and red pepper brochettes. ½ teaspoon saffron threads 1 tablespoon lemon juice ½ cup white wine 1 tablespoon white wine vinegar 1/4 cup Spanish onion (red) diced fine 2 cloves garlic chopped fine ¼ cup Italian flat leaf parsley chopped fine 1 teaspoon fresh thyme ½ teaspoon black pepper 1 teaspoon kosher salt For a variation and a little more Spanish influence and smokier flavor add 1 tablespoon of Spanish smoked sweet paprika. Very nice! Combine the white wine, lemon juice and vinegar in a non-reactive sauce pan bring to boil and add the saffron threads. Allow to steep and cool, then combine all. Marinate chicken breast or thighs four to six hours. Seafood or shellfish two hours.
