How to Make Mojito Marinade
- Combine 1/2 cup finely chopped shallots, 1/2 cup packed fresh mint leaves, 1/4 cup white rum, 1 tablespoon lime zest, 2 tablespoons lime juice, 2 tablespoons honey, 1/4 cup olive oil, and 1 teaspoon salt in a food processor.
- Pulse until the shallots are finely minced but not completely pureed – you want some texture remaining.
- Pour the marinade into a shallow baking dish or a 1-gallon resealable plastic bag. Add 1 to 2 pounds of your chosen protein (chicken breasts, pork chops, fish fillets, etc.), ensuring it's fully coated in the marinade.
- Marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes, or up to 4 hours for maximum flavor. (Overnight is even better!)
- Remove protein from marinade, discard marinade, and cook according to your preferred method (grill, bake, pan-fry).
