"This is perfect with chicken; which happens to be my favorite - but also good with pork, seafood and beef. The key is fresh herbs, so make sure to use them. But otherwise, just puree in a mini food processor until smooth and creamy; then, add to a ziploc bag with the protein of your choice and marinate. Simple. I know each protein takes different marinating times - for instance; shrimp and scallops, I wouldn't go over 1 hr; thicker fish like cod, salmon, and grouper, you could go 3-4 hours. Now, pork chicken and beef; anywhere from 1-24 hrs (over night). And, one note ... I use red wine vinegar when marinating beef rather than using white wine vinegar with chicken, pork, and seafood."
