How to Make Lemon Herb Garlic Marinade
- Roughly chop 2 tablespoons fresh rosemary leaves, 1 tablespoon fresh thyme leaves, and 1 teaspoon dried lavender flowers or leaves.
- In a mortar and pestle, combine the chopped herbs, 1 teaspoon sea salt, and ½ teaspoon black pepper. Pound until the herbs are crushed and fragrant.
- Add 2 cloves garlic and the zest of 1 lemon to the mortar. Pound until a paste forms, adding a teaspoon of olive oil if needed to help it along.
- Stir in the juice of 1 lemon and 2 tablespoons of olive oil. Mix thoroughly.
- Transfer the mixture to a small screw-top jar.
- Secure the lid and shake vigorously until the mixture thickens and emulsifies.
- Pour the marinade over your chosen protein (steak, chicken, or fish). Cover and marinate in the refrigerator for 1-2 hours before cooking.
- During cooking, baste the meat with any remaining marinade for extra flavor.
