Cup of Yum
Notes
- Yield ½ cup of marinade. Nutrition calculated using 2 tbsp of marinade per serving.
- You will also need: blender or food processor
- Notes:
- The marinade keeps for up to a week in the fridge, and it can be used on chicken, fish, veggies, and non- kosher things like pork and shrimp. It can also be used to make a dip by adding one part marinade to 3 parts sour cream or Greek yogurt. It is great with cut veggies and crackers!
- If you want to tweak the sweetness, you can add up to 2 total tablespoons of honey without changing how the marinade performs, so taste it and stir in more as desired once pureed. Don’t add too much, or the marinade might burn before your protein or veggies are completely cooked.
