Lemon Parsley Marinade Recipes

LEMON PARSLEY MARINADE

Steps:

• Combine all ingredients in medium bowl; mix well. Use to marinate 2 pounds chicken. Cook as desired.

EASY NO-FAIL LEMON CHICKEN MARINADE

Steps:

• Whisk lemon juice, olive oil, mustard, salt, red pepper flakes and black pepper together until the salt has dissolved. Stir in the garlic, lemon zest and herbs (if using). Refrigerate and use within 1 to 2 hours.
• To marinate chicken, add the marinade and chicken to a resealable food-safe bag or container and marinate in the refrigerator. Since this is so flavorful, even 20 minutes will work wonders. We don't recommend marinating more than a day in advance since the lemon in the marinade can cause the chicken to toughen.

THE ONLY MARINADE YOU'LL EVER NEED

Steps:

• Combine the lemon juice, hot pepper flakes, cracked pepper, and salt in a nonreactive (glass, ceramic, or stainless steel) bowl and whisk until the salt crystals are dissolved. Add the lemon zest, garlic, parsley and basil. Stir or whisk in the olive oil. The virtue of this marinade is its freshness: Use it within 1 to 2 hours of making. Stir again before using.

LEMON, PARSLEY, AND PARMESAN PLUS PASTA

Steps:

• Make the pesto: In a food processor, pulse parsley, garlic, red-pepper flakes, lemon zest, and 1 teaspoon salt until coarsely chopped. With machine running, add oil in a slow, steady stream, processing until blended.
• Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook pasta until al dente. Drain, reserving 1/4 cup pasta water.
• Toss pasta with pesto and Parmesan, then with reserved pasta water. Grate more lemon zest over each serving, and season with pepper.

FISH WITH LEMON-PARSLEY RELISH

Steps:

• With a sharp knife, cut off top and bottom of lemon, then slice away peel and white pith. Cut out lemon segments and chop; transfer to a small bowl. Squeeze juice from membranes into bowl. Stir in parsley, 1 1/2 tablespoons oil, and capers, if using; season relish with salt and pepper.
• In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon oil over medium-high. Add shallot and cook until softened, 2 to 4 minutes. Gradually add spinach and cook, tossing, until just wilted, 4 to 6 minutes; season with salt and pepper. Transfer to a bowl and cover to keep warm. Wipe skillet clean.
• Season fish with salt and pepper. Fold each fillet into thirds. Place fish in skillet and pour in wine; bring to a boil over high. Cover, reduce heat to low, and cook until fish is just opaque, 4 to 6 minutes. Serve with lemon-parsley relish and spinach.

GRILLED LEMON-PARSLEY VEAL CHOPS

• For topping:
• Stir together Italian parsley, lemon peel, rosemary, and garlic in small bowl to blend.
