- garlic: because pretty much every good recipe has some garlic in it!
- olive oil: gotta have a little olive oil in there to help thin things out.
- lemon zest: this add some much-needed acidity.
- dried basil leaves, oregano leaves, thyme leaves: I love this combination of herbs!
- kosher salt + ground black pepper: because you always have to season things a little bit to bring out the flavor.
How Long Should I Marinate Pork
