Lemongrass Marinade

Here's another great recipe from The Everything Thai Cookbook (Adams Media Corporation, 2003) that is best used with poultry, beef and pork, especially if you are grilling!

Ingredients:

• 1 cup extra-virgin olive oil
• 2 stalks lemongrass, trimmed and smashed
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1/4 tablespoon soy sauce
• 1 tablespoon fish sauce
• 2 tablespoons lime juice
• 1 jalapeno chili pepper, seeded and chopped
• 2 tablespoons chopped cilantro

Directions:

• Pour the olive oil into a pan and heat until warm. Add the lemongrass and garlic, and cook for 1 minute. Remove from heat and let cool to room temperature.
• Stir in remaining ingredients.

Recipe makes approximately 1-1/3 cups marinade. You can store this in an airtight container in the refrigerator overnight, but it is best used right away.
