Aleppo Pepper Marinade


Category: Sauce - (478)
Origin: Syria (Aleppo)
Source: Tori Avey


This Aleppo pepper marinade melds Middle Eastern and Mediterranean ingredients into a unique and irresistible flavor combination. Olive oil, balsamic vinegar, honey, and lemon provide a wonderful sweet-tart balance for the pepper spice. Garlic and fresh herbs, including rosemary and thyme, add aroma and texture. If you’ve never tasted Aleppo pepper, this recipe is reason enough to pick up a bottle and give it a try. You won’t be disappointed!

Ingredients:
- 1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
- 4 large or 6 small cloves garlic, minced or pressed
- 3 tablespoon Aleppo pepper flakes
- 1 tablespoon honey or agave nectar (use agave to make vegan)
- 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
- 1 tablespoon fresh rosemary leaves, roughly chopped
- 1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice
- 1/4 teaspoon sea sal
Preparation:
- Place all ingredients into a blender or food processor and puree until well combined and no large chunks of herbs or garlic remain.
- Transfer to a bowl, cover, and refrigerate until ready to use, up to one week.

- Yield 1/2 cup of marinade.

Nutrition calculated using 2 tbsp of marinade per serving.
- You will also need: blender or food processor
Notes:
- The marinade keeps for up to a week in the fridge, and it can be used on chicken, fish, veggies, and non- kosher things like pork and shrimp. It can also be used to make a dip by adding one part marinade to 3 parts sour cream or Greek yogurt. It is great with cut veggies and crackers!

If you want to tweak the sweetness, you can add up to 2 total tablespoons of honey without changing how the marinade performs, so taste it and stir in more as desired once pureed. Don’t add too much, or the marinade might burn before your protein or veggies are completely cooked.
