Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup dry red wine
- 0.5 cup olive oil
- 4 cloves garlic cloves, minced
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper, freshly ground
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes (optional)
Instructions
In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together the dry red wine, olive oil, and lemon juice until well combined.
Add the minced garlic, dried oregano, dried thyme, freshly ground black pepper, and salt to the bowl. If you prefer a spicier marinade, include the crushed red pepper flakes.
Continue whisking until all the ingredients are evenly incorporated into the mixture.
Place your choice of meat, poultry, or vegetables in a resealable plastic bag or shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the food, ensuring it is fully coated.
Seal the bag or cover the dish with plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, preferably overnight, to allow the flavors to meld and penetrate.
Before cooking, remove the food from the marinade and shake off any excess liquid. Discard the used marinade and cook the food as desired, such as grilling, roasting, or pan-searing.
Enjoy the bold flavors of your perfectly marinated dish!
