tangy molasses glaze
This deliciously simple recipe is a real crowd-pleaser, and its nutritional benefits are off the charts!
2 parts organic black strap molasses
2 parts organic dijon mustard
1 part organic white wine vinegar
coarse ground black pepper, to taste
Whisk ingredients together in a bowl, then dip shrimp, fish or chicken in mixture right before grilling (do not use as a marinade). The molasses will caramelize slightly on the surface, sealing in the moisture and taste of whatever you are cooking.
Nutritional info:
- Black strap molasses is an excellent source of iron, calcium, potassium, magnesium and vitamin B6.
- Mustard is packed with selenium (a powerful antioxidant that has been linked to preventing cancer), tryptophan, and mega-3 fatty acids.
- Vinegar has been shown to lower LDL cholesterol, reduce the glycemic effect of foods eaten with it, and increase satiety.
