persian-inspired-marinade-for-proteins-and-vegetables

I fell in love with the flavor profiles of Persian cuisine. Thanks to a wonderful family-owned shop here in the city, I can get access to the most incredible collection of herbs, spices, combination-spices and so much more. The bold citrus of sumac, the extremely fragrant zaatar, and the gentle brightness of mint all come together in the most incredible way. The combination is absolutely phenomenal! Coming up with a marinade is a very natural thing for me. After tweaking the recipe as I added to my mixing bowl, I believe I have come up with the most incredible marinade. It was enough that my husband inhaled many chicken wings, so it had to be awesome! The recipe is written for approximately 2-2.5lbs of protein. As is, the recipe is perfect for a party of four to six portions or if you are like my husband, maybe two people, LOL! This recipe is configured in a way that allows for the reader to either upsize or downsize with ease. Key Note: The marinade will need a little counter-time to get some of the spices to absorb the fluid part of this recipe. Just mix it occasionally and it will be great! All of the spices used in this are dried.
