A flavorful and aromatic marinade perfect for enhancing the taste of your favorite proteins.
Peel and finely mince the garlic cloves.
Using fresh garlic enhances the flavor of the marinade significantly.
Combine the minced garlic, lemon zest, rosemary, basil, thyme, black pepper, and salt in a small bowl.
Mixing the dry ingredients first ensures even distribution of flavors.
Add the olive oil to the bowl and stir until well combined.
Adding the oil last helps to bind the ingredients together smoothly.
Rub the marinade onto your chosen protein and let it rest for at least 30 minutes before cooking.
Allowing the protein to rest with the marinade enhances the infusion of flavors.
Cook the marinated protein using your preferred method, such as grilling or roasting.
Ensure the protein is cooked to the appropriate internal temperature for safety.
