Thyme, Shallot, and Lemon Marinade image

This classic marinade pairs nicely with almost any meat, particularly shellfish and fish fillets. Don't marinate shellfish for longer than twenty minutes; the acid in the lemon juice will cook the flesh.

Number Of Ingredients 7

3 tablespoons freshly squeezed lemon juice
3 tablespoons dry white wine
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
16 sprigs fresh thyme
2 shallots, thinly sliced
1 lemon, sliced into 1/4-inch-thick rounds
Coarse salt and freshly ground pepper

Preserved Tomatoes with Lemon Thyme image

Gently baked plum tomatoes, sprinkled with lemon thyme and marinated in olive oil (we like the peppery taste of Ravida or Colonna oilve oil), are juicy beauties to accompany torn pieces of a flour-dusted Italian loaf.

Categories     Food & Cooking     Appetizers

Yield Makes 1 quart

Number Of Ingredients 6

2 pounds small plum tomatoes
4 cloves garlic, minced
1 1/2 teaspoons crushed red pepper flakes
1/4 cup fresh lemon thyme leaves
1 tablespoon sea salt flakes
Extra-virgin olive oil, for filling jar

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 275 degrees. Prepare an ice-water bath; set aside. Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add tomatoes, and cook 2 minutes. Using a slotted spoon, transfer tomatoes to the ice-water bath to stop the cooking; let cool completely in ice-water bath. Transfer to a plate lined with paper towels, and let drain.
  • Slit tomatoes lengthwise, leaving halves attached along 1 edge. Open each tomato like a book, and arrange on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Roast until edges have shriveled slightly, about 40 minutes. Let cool completely.
  • Meanwhile, stir together garlic, red pepper flakes, lemon thyme, and salt in a small bowl. Sprinkle one side of each tomato with about 1 teaspoon of the seasoning mixture; fold over other side.
  • Layer tomatoes in a sterilized, dry 1-quart jar. Pour in enough oil to cover tomatoes. Place a round of waxed paper on surface to keep them submerged. Refrigerate at least 24 hours; let stand at room temperature 1 hour before serving.

LEMON HERB MARINADE



Lemon Herb Marinade image

This easy Lemon Herb Marinade can be whipped up in 10 minutes. Zesty herbs and simple ingredients work together to elevate chicken, fish or pork. Feel free to switch up the herbs you use in this Lemon Herb Marinade. For example, for a lemon-rosemary marinade, consider substituting parsley for the basil and rosemary for the thyme. A good rule of thumb when mixing up marinades is, for fish, chicken and pork, light herbal notes tend to work well. This lemon and herb marinade is not to be missed.

Categories     barbecues, main course

Time 1h30m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

4 (6-ounce) boneless, skinless chicken breasts
1 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt
1 teaspoon black pepper
2 tablespoons chopped thyme leaves
4 garlic cloves, crushed and peeled
2 lemons, as needed
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, more as needed
Torn basil or mint leaves, as needed

Steps:

  • Place chicken breasts between two sheets of parchment or plastic wrap. Using a mallet or rolling pin, pound each to an even thickness of 1/2 inch. Do not make them any thinner or they could dry out.
  • Place chicken in a large bowl and toss with salt, pepper, thyme, garlic and the zest and juice of 1 lemon. Mix in olive oil. Cover and refrigerate 1 to 2 hours. Remove chicken from fridge while you heat the grill.
  • Light the grill, building a hot fire, or heat your gas grill to high. Once grill is fully heated, brush breasts lightly with olive oil and place chicken on the grill. Cook until undersides are browned and chicken is about halfway cooked, 3 to 5 minutes. Flip breasts and grill until cooked through, 3 to 5 minutes more.
  • Transfer chicken to a platter. Drizzle with oil and garnish with additional lemon juice, olive oil and basil or mint leaves.

Lemon, Thyme, & Basil Bbq Sauce/marinade image

Provided by HeatherFeather

Categories     Sauces

Time 10m

Yield 2 cups

Number Of Ingredients 8

3/4 cup fresh squeezed lemon juice
2 cloves fresh garlic, peeled
1 teaspoon onion powder
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
1 1/2 teaspoons paprika
1 1/2 cups canola oil
1 tablespoon dried basil
1 teaspoon dried thyme

Steps:

  • Combine lemon juice, garlic cloves, onion powder, salt, and paprika in a blender and process for a minute on high speed.
  • Through the hole in the top of your blender, slowly add the oil, with the blender set to high, and then cover up the hole and blend another minute.
  • Add herbs blend for 30 seconds.
  • Keep chilled for up to 2 days.

Tips:

  • Use fresh herbs: Fresh herbs, like lemon myrtle and thyme, provide more flavor than dried herbs. If you don't have fresh herbs on hand, you can use 1/2 teaspoon of dried herbs for each tablespoon of fresh herbs called for in the recipe.
  • Let the meat marinate for at least 30 minutes: This will give the marinade time to penetrate the meat and infuse it with flavor. You can marinate the meat for up to 24 hours, but 30 minutes is the minimum amount of time needed to get good flavor.
  • Use a covered container to marinate the meat: This will help to keep the marinade from evaporating and will also prevent the meat from absorbing any unwanted flavors from the refrigerator.
  • Turn the meat occasionally while it is marinating: This will help to ensure that all sides of the meat are evenly coated with the marinade.
  • Discard the marinade after use: Do not reuse the marinade, as it may contain bacteria that could make you sick.

Conclusion:

Lemon myrtle and thyme are a delicious combination of flavors that can be used to marinate a variety of meats. This marinade is perfect for grilled chicken, fish, or pork. It is also a great way to add flavor to roasted vegetables. The marinade is easy to make and can be used on a variety of different dishes. So next time you're looking for a flavorful marinade, give this lemon myrtle and thyme marinade a try.
