Citrus marinade for chicken, pork, or fish

Peel the:
- orange (1 pc);
- lemon (1 pc);
- lime (2 pcs).
Cut the fruits in half and remove the seeds. Then place the peeled citrus fruits in a blender along with:
- salt (1/2 tsp);
- black pepper (1/4 tsp);
- dried herbs: rosemary, oregano, thyme (1 tsp).
Blend everything until smooth.
Pour the resulting marinade over pieces of meat, such as chicken thighs, and leave it in the refrigerator for 30 minutes.
Citrus marinade is especially popular in Mediterranean and Mexican cuisines due to its characteristics and benefits:
- acids from citrus fruits help tenderize the meat by breaking down its fibers, making it more tender and juicy;
- lime and lemon add sharpness, while orange adds a hint of sweetness, creating a harmony of flavors.
If you want to make the marinade more keto-friendly, replace the orange with additional lime/lemon juice, and add a bit of apple cider vinegar or a little stevia.
