In this video, Chef Reza shows how to make three kinds of chenje — each with its own flavor and style. These easy marinades make the meat soft, tasty, and full of aroma.
1. Yogurt and Garlic Chenje
This one is creamy and rich. Chef Reza mixes yogurt, garlic, saffron, salt, and lemon juice to make a smooth marinade. The yogurt helps make the meat soft and juicy when grilled.
2. Olive Oil and Lemon Chenje
This version is light and fresh. It’s made with olive oil, lemon juice, black pepper, and oregano. The lemon gives the meat a bright, clean taste that goes well with rice or bread.
3. Spicy Pomegranate Chenj
Chef Reza’s special mix includes pomegranate molasses, garlic, chili flakes, and sumac. It’s a bit tangy, a bit spicy, and full of color and flavor.
Cooking Tips
- Marinate the meat for at least 4 hours or overnight.
- Grill on medium heat until golden.
- Let the meat rest for a few minutes before serving.
