1 onion, finely chopped
2.5cm/1in piece fresh root ginger, grated
1 large garlic clove, crushed
45ml/3 tbsp olive oil

Serves: 4
Method
1. Finely grate the rind from one lime and squeeze the juice from all of them.
2. Split the cardamom pods and remove the seeds. Crush with a pestle and mortar or the back of a heavy bladed knife.
3. Mix all the marinade ingredients together and pour over the meat or fish. Stir in gently, cover and leave in a cool place to marinate for 2-3 hours.
4. Drain the meat or fish when you are ready to cook it on the barbecue. Baste the meat occasionally with the marinade, while cooking.
