Judijos Pesto Meat Marinade Recipes

PESTO MARINADE FOR CHICKEN OR SHRIMP

Steps:

• Mix all ingredients together.
• Marinate chicken for at least an hour, more is better! For shrimp, don't marinate too long--the lemon will "cook" the shrimp. It doesn't ruin it, but it changes the texture a bit.
• Brush marinade on meat while it's cooking. (Discard garlic chunks).
• Works well with chicken, shrimp, and firm white fish. I think it would be good with pork tenderloin, but I haven't made that yet!

MARINATED PESTO CHICKEN

Steps:

• Place the basil, garlic, Parmesan, toasted pine nuts and lemon juice in a food processor and process until combined.
• Gradually add the olive oil, with the processor still running, and process until smooth.
• Reserve 3/4 cup of the pesto.
• Coat the chicken fillets with the remaining pesto and marinate for at least 1 hour, or overnight if time permits.
• Place the chicken on a tray and cook under a medium grill (broil) for 5 minutes on each side, or until cooked, brushing with any remaining marinade during the cooking.
• Serve with roasted vegetables, (such as eggplant, capsicum, red onion) and the reserved pesto.
