SUMMER HERB MARINADE

Make the best use of summer herbs in this marinade. Try any combination of herbs, depending on what you have on hand, and use with veal, chicken, pork, lamb or salmon.

INGREDIENTS
large handful of fresh herb sprigs,
e.g. chervil, thyme, parsley, sage,
chives, rosemary, oregano
6 tablespoons olive oil
3 tablespoons tarragon vinegar
1 garlic clove, crushed
2 scallions, chopped
salt and freshly ground black pepper

SERVES 4

1. Discard any coarse stalks or damaged leaves from the herbs, then chop them very finely.

2. Add the chopped herbs to the remaining marinade ingredients in a large bowl. Stir to mix thoroughly.

3. Place the meat or fish in a bowl and pour the marinade over it. Cover and set aside to marinate in a cool place for 4—6 hours.

4. Drain the meat or fish when you are ready to cook it on the grill. Use the marinade to baste the meat occasionally while cooking.
