Ingredients
- 1 cup buttermilk
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 3 units garlic cloves, minced
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
- 1 tablespoon fresh thyme leaves
- 1 teaspoon fresh rosemary, chopped
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper, freshly ground
Directions
Step 1
In a medium-sized mixing bowl, whisk together the buttermilk, olive oil, and lemon juice until well combined.
Step 2
Add the minced garlic, chopped parsley, thyme leaves, and rosemary to the bowl. Stir to incorporate the fresh herbs.
Step 3
Sprinkle in the paprika, salt, and black pepper. Mix well, ensuring all spices are evenly distributed.
Step 4
Use the marinade immediately by pouring it over your desired protein or vegetables in a resealable plastic bag or a shallow dish.
Step 5
If marinating meat, ensure it is fully submerged, seal the bag or cover the dish tightly, and refrigerate for at least 2 hours or up to 8 hours for optimal flavor. For vegetables, marinate for 30 minutes to 1 hour.
Step 6
Remove the marinated items from the mixture and prepare according to your preferred cooking method (grilling, roasting, or pan-searing). For meats, discard any leftover marinade that has come into contact with raw protein.
