Fresh Thyme and Oregano Marinade

What can I say... Oregano and Thyme - classic combination...yum! The mixture of these herbs provides a refreshing taste to everything it coats.

I love this marinade because its easy, tasty and highly versatile. It works well with just about anything from proteins to salads to veggies - on and off the grill.

Ingredients:

1 cup extra-virgin olive oil
1/2 cup packed fresh oregano **
1/3 cup freshlemon juice*
1/3 cup dry white wine
1/4 cup packed fresh thyme leaves
1 medium yellow onion, peeled and quartered
2 teaspoons kosher salt
1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

Process:

Combine in blender until mixture is smooth - dont over blend (about 60 to 90 seconds). Place in fridge until ready to use. Will store for 2 to 3 days.

* About two fresh lemons
** use only the leaves and tender stems from the oregano
