Rosemary And Balsamic Marinade

Total Time: 5 mins Preparation Time: 5 mins

Ingredients

• 2 rosemary sprigs, broken into small pieces
• 1/2 cup balsamic vinegar
• 2/3 cup extra virgin olive oil
• 3 garlic cloves, bashed so the skins are split
• 1 tablespoon clear honey

Recipe

• 1 the marinade- in a shallow, non-metallic dish, mix together all the ingredients except for the honey. (if you are using a vinegar that is not thick, first boil double the amount in a shallow pan for 3–5 minutes until syrupy and reduced, then cool.)
• 2 season the mixture and add the meat or fish. rub well all over and cover. for meat, marinate for 2 hours in the fridge or overnight. fish should be marinated for up to 30 minutes in the fridge; any longer and the acidic vinegar will start 'cooking' the fish.
• 3 to cook once the fish or meat has been placed on the grill or barbecue, mix the honey in with the excess marinade. baste the food while cooking; the sugars in the honey will start to caramelise and allow the marinade to adhere to the food like a glaze.
