Summer Rosemary Garlic Dijon Marinade for Grilled Pork or Chicken

This is a fun summer recipe perfect for grilling. 




Ingredients:
1/3 cup white wine
1/3 cup lemon juice
1/4 cup olive oil
1/3 cup Dijon mustard
2 Tbsp. honey
1/4 cup brown sugar
2 tsp. salt
1 tsp. black pepper
1 bulb garlic minced (about 5 Tbsp.)
8 sprigs rosemary chopped (about 1/4 cup)

Directions:
Mix all ingredients together in large bowl or dish.  Add desired meat (recommend chicken, pork or steak, works great for kebabs).  Marinate for at least 1 hour and up to overnight.

If making kebabs, I also like to add my vegetables sliced vegetables to the marinade for at least an hour (up to 4 hours).  Remember, that if you mix raw meat and vegetables or use any marinade that was mixed with raw meat for the vegetables, you must make sure to cook the vegetables thoroughly.

Remove meat from marinade and Grill or Bake meat until done.

I usually baste my kebobs or meat with the leftover marinade every few minutes while grilling.  Remember that the marinade contained raw meat, so you must stop basting before the meat or kebabs are done and make sure to cook the basted meat long enough to ensure any marinade is also thoroughly cooked through.
