AIP Friendly Rosemary Garlic Marinade
This marinade is bright, herby, and deeply aromatic — the kind of thing that makes a simple piece of chicken or lamb taste like you actually tried. Fresh rosemary and minced garlic form the backbone, while lemon juice, lemon zest, and apple cider vinegar layer in a tangy lift that keeps the whole blend from feeling heavy. Ground turmeric and ginger add warmth and a subtle earthiness without relying on any of the nightshade-based spices that make so many store-bought marinades off-limits on an elimination-style protocol. Every single ingredient here is clean and straightforward — no soy, no seed oils, no hidden additives. Just whisk everything together in one bowl, and you're done in under five minutes. It works beautifully on chicken, pork, or lamb, and you can prep it up to three days ahead so weeknight dinners stay stress-free. Serves four, and honestly, you might want to double it.
