4 servings
- ½ cup fresh orange juice (from about 2 oranges)
- ¼ cup fresh lime juice (from about 3 limes)
- ¼ cup olive oil
- 6 cloves garlic, peeled
- ½ cup fresh cilantro leaves and tender stems
- ¼ cup fresh flat-leaf parsley leaves
- 1 tsp fresh oregano leaves (or ½ tsp dried oregano)
Ingredient noteOregano is fine during pregnancy in normal cooking amounts - this recipe uses about 1/4 tsp per serving. The caution is about concentrated oregano oil and large medicinal doses.
- 1 tsp fresh ginger, finely grated
- ¼ tsp ground turmeric
- ½ tsp fine sea salt
- 1 tsp orange zest (optional)
Instructions
- 1
Combine the orange juice, lime juice, olive oil, garlic, cilantro, parsley, oregano, ginger, turmeric, and salt in a blender or food processor. Add the orange zest, if using.
- 2
Blend on high until the garlic and herbs are finely broken down and the marinade is bright green and well emulsified, about 30–45 seconds. Scrape down the sides once midway through if any herb pieces cling to the walls.
