Summer grilling is here and life is opening up again, it’s time for gathering together with friends and family, having backyard BBQ’s and enjoying special occasions which we all missed so much!
Memorial Day is just around the corner and so is Father’s Day and if you’re planning on doing any cookouts, I hope you add this intensely flavored mustard, garlic herb paste to just about whatever you’re planning on grilling.
Fresh herbs are the key to this delicious herb paste which can be made in a jiffy using a food processor, and don’t be afraid to double or triple this recipe, I promise it will amp up your grilling game!
I used a mix of basil, parsley, thyme and rosemary. Each herb carries it’s own intense flavor which pairs nicely with grilled foods, but feel free to create your own combo that you might prefer.
Smother the herb paste all over whatever your grilling and then let it sit for a while to intensify.
Brush it all over veggies, chicken, beef, pork and even fish, the more the better!
I’ve been using this herb paste since way back, here’s a post I did nine years ago, time sure does fly!
Snip off some herbs and make this mustard, garlic, herb paste the next time you turn on the grill, enjoy!
- 2 cups of herbs like parsley, basil, thyme and rosemary, but feel free to use your favorite combination
