Lupin Free Citrus-Garlic Marinade
Bright citrus, pungent garlic, and warm turmeric come together in a marinade that smells incredible the moment you start whisking. Fresh orange and lemon juice form the tangy backbone, while grated ginger and woody herbs like thyme and rosemary layer in serious depth of flavor. A drizzle of raw honey is optional but rounds out the acidity beautifully if you want a slightly sweeter finish. The whole thing comes together in under a minute — just whisk and it's ready to go to work on chicken, pork, or fish. Because every ingredient here is a whole, single-origin food, there's no need to scrutinize labels for hidden legume-based fillers or flour extenders that can sneak into store-bought marinades. It keeps in the fridge for up to three days, so you can make a batch ahead and have weeknight dinners practically sorted. This is the kind of versatile, vibrant marinade that earns a permanent spot in your rotation.
