Marinade Five is based on the Catalan cuisine, typical from the region of Catalonia in Spain, while Marinade Six is based on the Thai cuisine. Both marinades have one thing in common: they take basic ingredients and elevate them with a mix of fresh herbs and spices. The Catalan marinade is made with olive oil, lemons, garlic, sage, thyme, and rosemary, which makes it a great fit for grilled or roasted chicken or lamb. The Thai Marinade, on the other hand, combines coconut milk, lime juice, lime zest, fish sauce, chili pepper, and cilantro which makes it a great fit for beef, poultry, or seafood.
