Cooking Aboard
This recipe is from Lynn Myers who lives aboard a 35’ at CVM.
This old American recipe is from the deep South and lifted directly from a handwritten recipe card. Don’t be turned off by the number of ingredients – it’s worth the time. Most of them you will have in your pantry. It’s delicious as a sauce or marinade, great on grilled chicken. The peppery tang from the lemon melds with the beer for a unique flavor. (No added sugar, milk, or eggs and it’s gluten-free. Calories? Who cares!!
