This zesty marinade brings many of the bright flavors associated with the countries near the Mediterranean Sea to the party. Do not substitute oil-packed tomatoes for the dried ones or you will not get the strongly flavored infusion described here.
- 4 oz. sun-dried tomatoes
- 1/2 c. dry white wine
- 1/2 c. olive oil
- 1/2 c. red wine vinegar
- 1/2 tsp. grated lemon peel
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/2 tsp. dried oregano
- 1/2 tsp. dried marjoram
- 1/4 tsp. black pepper
- 1 tsp. salt
Using a sharp pair of kitchen shears, snip the tomatoes into little pieces. Place in a small microwavable bowl and cover with the white wine. Microwave on HIGH for 30 seconds and allow to infuse for 5 minutes. Place the contents of the bowl and the remaining ingredients in a food processor and process until smooth. Use as a marinade for chicken or pork.
