We had dinner with Liz and Tim (my sister-in-law and brother-in-law) tonight. I love when we plan a last minute Sunday dinner at their house because it is whatever the two families can throw together from their combined pantries. Sometimes it is pancakes and sausage while other nights, we are able to put on a serious Sunday feast. Tonight, Liz supplied the chicken and grilling team (go Tim!) and I provided the marinade. It’s a just a simple citrus and herb combo that I’d recommend letting the meat sit in, but as this was a quick get together, Tim just dropped it on the chicken and grilled away!
Carina’s Citrus Marinade
Throw together the following ingredients and let meat (chicken, pork, etc) marinade for an hour and bake or grill:
juice of 1 lemon
zest of 1 lemon
juice of 1 orange
zest of 1 orange
3-6 finely chopped garlic cloves
2 springs fresh rosemary (finely chopped)
handful of basil leaves (finely chopped)
spring of thyme (leaves pulled)
salt and paper
So much fun!!! I have fixed the link..I have projects up on my blog now if you’d like to take a look.
My neighbor & I are both single girls, and we often times gather up misc things in the pantry & fridge and make a sizzling stash of food! Its great fun & often times we amaze ourselves at what the other has to bring to the table!
Such a great idea on the chicken~ will give that a go one night~
Great blog~!
Hi Carina! It was great to meet you tonight at Leatherbys. We will have to get together sometime. I told Theresa that I got to meet you. She’s jealous. 🙂 I can’t wait to try this chicken….there’s no oil in it!
