Guinness Marinade

Ingredients

I didn't measure any of them...but used roughly half the can of Guinness.

Not pictured: 3 cloves of garlic, smashed and chopped.

olive oil and rice vinegar

add the guinness

whisk it up

admire the work of art

add some seasonings

I discovered that the back of a spoon is very useful for garlic-crushing

whisk some more

put in some meat: I used catfish this evening

I think I'm going to try pork chops in the leftover marinade tomorrow

let sit for awhile...I think I only let the fish sit for about half an hour, I was too hungry to wait longer

pan fry the meat

I fished the garlic out of the marinade and added it to the pan as well
