The Only Marinade You'll Ever Need

The Only Marinade You'll Ever Need

Recipe Credit : Steven Raichlen,  Workman Publishing

Mediterranean-inspired marinade bursting with flavour! Garlic, zesty lemon, and the richness of extra virgin olive oil - it's a flavour journey you won't want to miss. Perfect for marinating poultry, meat, veg or seafood. Who needs anything else?

Recipe :

1/4 cup fresh lemon juice

1/2 teaspoon hot pepper flakes

1/2 teaspoon cracked black pepper

1/2 teaspoon coarse salt (kosher or sea), or to taste

4 strips of lemon zest

3 cloves garlic, crushed with the side of a cleaver or minced

1/4 cup coarsely chopped fresh parsley

1/4 cup coarsely chopped fresh basil, cilantro, dill, oregano, or a mix of all four

1/2 cup extra virgin olive oil

Directions :

Combine the lemon juice, hot pepper flakes, cracked pepper, and salt in a nonreactive (glass, ceramic, or stainless steel) bowl and whisk until the salt crystals are dissolved. Add the lemon zest, garlic, parsley and basil. Stir or whisk in the olive oil. The virtue of this marinade is its freshness: Use it within 1 to 2 hours of making. Stir again before using.
