Directions
Peel 6 strips of lemon zest from one of the lemons using a vegetable peeler. Cut both lemons in half and squeeze the juice. Remove the seeds from the lemon juice using a spoon or small strainer.
Place all ingredients except for the lemon zest into a blender and blend on the highest setting until smooth.
Scrape the Mediterranean marinade over your protein with a rubber spatula and add the lemon zest.
Place your protein into a plastic Ziploc and pour marinade over it. Add the lemon zest to the bag. Mix the protein and marinade together, close the bag and refrigerate for at least 2 hours and up to 12 hours before cooking.
Recipe Note
This marinade is great on chicken, pork, fish, and shellfish. It's quick and easy and it's a crowd pleaser. I recommend using it for grilling, oven roasting, or pan searing proteins. This recipe makes 1 cup of marinade, which covers 2lbs of protein.
