Just combine the ingredients and place your pork chops or loin into the mixture and let rest for at least 30 minutes before cooking. This marinade is also great with chicken.

Pickling is nice way to add a bit of interest to condiments. We like this recipe for pickling red onions and these taste great on burgers, with cheese or added to a toastie.

This recipe couldn’t be easier. All you need to do is stir through all the ingredients over a medium heat until dissolved.
