Directions

1. Mix everything in ziplock. Put what ever you want in ziplock and squish to make sure liquid coats everything. Draw all the air out, and seal ziplock.

2. Refrigerate marinate for 30 minutes up to 3 hours.
NOTE: The acid in the citrus will cook the meat, so don't overdo it.

Works great with seafood and poultry.


Variations

*Add 1 Tbl butter off the heat, after you have reduced the marinade till it thickens. Pour over cooked meat.

*Cook meat in marinade to end up with a syrupy coated meat. Or cook meat till almost done, and add the marinade to bring it to a boil, to finish cooking the meat. Take off the heat and add butter to round out the flavor.

*Add more garlic and use on chicken.

*Use any herbs you like.

*Change the citrus with lemon, blood oranges, etc.

*Add in some of the rind.
