Description
A bright and garlicky marinade that adds big flavor to grilled meats and roasted vegetables.
Ingredients
Marinade Ingredients
- 1/4 cup olive oil
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice (Freshly squeezed is best)
- 4 cloves garlic, minced (Mincing ensures even flavor distribution)
- 2 tablespoons fresh rosemary, chopped (Fresh gives a softer, floral note)
- 1 teaspoon salt (Essential for flavor enhancement)
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper (Freshly ground is preferred)
Instructions
Preparation
- Measure and prep the ingredients: mince the garlic and chop the rosemary.
- In a bowl, whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, chopped rosemary, salt, and pepper until well combined.
- Use immediately or store in the refrigerator for up to a week.
Marinating
- Marinate meat or vegetables for at least 30 minutes before grilling.
- For larger cuts of meat, such as chicken breasts or pork, allow for a few hours.
Notes
Store the marinade in a sealed jar or container in the refrigerator. If used on raw meat, do not reuse unless boiled first. Leftover cooked food can be gently reheated in a skillet with a splash of water or broth. For grilled vegetables, reheat in a hot oven for a few minutes.
