Description

The sourness of the buttermilk creates a “fresh” aroma in the meat. The combination with salt, honey and mustard enhances the natural flavour of the meat and improves the juicyness!


Ingredients

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
  • ½1 kg lean meat (e.g. chicken breast, leg of rabbit, leg of goat/lamb/mutton, beef sirloin)

Instructions

  1. Pour the buttermilk into a sealable container (big enough for both meat and marinade).
  2. Stir in the salt, honey, herbs and mustard.
  3. Soak the meat in the mixture and leave to marinate for 48 hours. Turn the meat after 24 hours.
  4. Cook the meat the exact way you normally cook it (e.g. roasting, grilling, frying or braising).Remove excess marinade before pan-frying.
