- 1 whole medium sized garlic bulb, peeled and sliced
- 1 whole spanish onion, thinly sliced
- 1 bay leaf
- 1 tbsp (15 ml) mustard seed

- Mix all ingredients together, making sure the salt and sugar are dissolved.
- Add meat of choice to container, (see notes below), making sure they are fully immersed (or covered) by the brine.
- Leave in the refrigerator at least overnight and up to 2-3 days for wonderful flavor and effect of brining.
- Grill or broil on high heat to sear the outside and secure the juicy tender meat inside, cook until a meat thermometer reads the temperature needed for the meat you select, or until the juices are running clear.
