Units
Scale
- 500ml buttermilk
- 2 tsp salt
- 1 tsp honey
- 3 tbsp chopped spring herbs (e.g., lemon thyme, thyme, or fresh ramson)
- 1 tsp wholegrain mustard
- 1/2-1 kg lean meat (e.g., chicken breast, leg of rabbit, leg of lamb, beef, or goat)
Instructions
- Pour the buttermilk into a sealable container large enough to hold both the meat and marinade.
- Stir in the salt, honey, chopped spring herbs, and wholegrain mustard until well combined.
- Submerge the meat in the marinade, ensuring it is fully covered.
- Seal the container and refrigerate for 48 hours, turning the meat occasionally to ensure even marination.
- After marinating, cook the meat as you normally would, using your preferred method.
Notes
Use spring herbs like lemon balm or wild thyme for rabbit or chicken, and stronger herbs like ramson and sage for red meats like lamb, beef, or goat. Allow the meat to marinate for a full 48 hours for best results. This marinade is perfect for enhancing the flavors of seasonal meats.
