Directions

Step 1

Mince the garlic cloves finely, or use a garlic press for convenience.

Step 2

Chop the fresh parsley and fresh thyme finely to release their aromas.

Step 3

In a medium-sized mixing bowl, whisk together the Dijon mustard, olive oil, and lemon juice until the mixture is emulsified and well-combined.

Step 4

Add the minced garlic, chopped parsley, chopped thyme, and honey to the bowl. Whisk again to incorporate the ingredients evenly.

Step 5

Season the marinade with salt and black pepper to taste. Give it a final stir to ensure the seasoning is distributed throughout.

Use the marinade immediately or transfer it to an airtight container and refrigerate for up to 24 hours for maximum flavor infusion.

Step 7

To marinate, pour the mustard and herb mixture over your choice of protein or vegetables in a shallow dish or zip-top bag. Ensure the food is evenly coated by tossing or pressing it gently.

Step 8

Allow the food to marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes (or up to 8 hours) before cooking using your preferred method, such as grilling, roasting, or pan-searing.
