Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup fresh raspberries
- 0.25 cup olive oil
- 3 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 teaspoon fresh rosemary, finely chopped
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon water (optional, for consistency)
Instructions
1. Rinse the fresh raspberries thoroughly under cold water and pat them dry with a paper towel.
2. In a medium mixing bowl, mash the raspberries using a fork or the back of a spoon until they are broken down and release their juices.
3. Add the olive oil, balsamic vinegar, honey, Dijon mustard, and minced garlic to the bowl with the raspberries.
4. Add the finely chopped rosemary, salt, and black pepper into the mixture, stirring well to combine all the ingredients evenly.
5. If the mixture is too thick, add 1 tablespoon of water to adjust the consistency, stirring thoroughly until smooth.
6. Taste the marinade and adjust seasoning if necessary, adding more salt, pepper, or honey to suit your preference.
7. Pour the marinade over your choice of protein (chicken, pork, or fish) in a resealable plastic bag or shallow dish. Ensure the protein is fully coated in the marinade.
8. Seal the bag or cover the dish with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 4 hours for a more intense flavor.
9. Remove the protein from the marinade and cook as desired (grill, bake, or pan-sear), discarding the used marinade.
10. Enjoy the tangy and vibrant flavor of your raspberry-marinated dish!
