Bright citrus lifts the richness of the lamb while fresh herbs create layers of flavour that make every roast or grilled chop worthy of the finest feast.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Storage<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Store in a sealed container in the refrigerator for up to <strong>4 days<\/strong>. Discard any marinade that has been used with raw meat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Merchant&#8217;s Tip<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For an exceptional finish, reserve a little fresh marinade before adding the lamb. Brush it over the meat during the final few minutes of cooking for an extra layer of fresh herb flavour and a beautiful glossy finish.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<!-- DFK CONTEXTUAL LINKS -->\n<h2>More from the Merchant<\/h2><p>Compare another marinade or carry these flavours into a complete Dragon Clan feast.<\/p><ul><li><a href=\"https:\/\/dragonfirekitchen.co.uk\/?p=1018\">DragonFire BBQ Marinade<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"https:\/\/dragonfirekitchen.co.uk\/?p=1016\">Citrus Herb Chicken Marinade<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"https:\/\/dragonfirekitchen.co.uk\/?p=1602\">Crimson Lantern Dakgalbi<\/a> \u2014 try this flavour at a full feast<\/li><li><a href=\"https:\/\/dragonfirekitchen.co.uk\/?p=1603\">Froststep Salmon &#038; Dill Soup<\/a> \u2014 another route from merchant to table<\/li><li><a href=\"https:\/\/dragonfirekitchen.co.uk\/?page_id=599\">Return to The Spice Merchant<\/a><\/li><\/ul>\n<!-- \/DFK CONTEXTUAL LINKS -->","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A fragrant, Mediterranean-inspired marinade that pairs beautifully with lamb.
