- 1/2 cup olive oil
- 1 yellow onion, finely chopped
- 1/4 cup chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley
- 2 large garlic cloves, minced
- 1 Tbs. chopped fresh thyme, rosemary
or tarragon, or 2 tsp. dried herb of choice - 1 tsp. salt
- 1/2 tsp. freshly ground pepper
Directions:
In a large bowl, whisk together the wine, olive oil, onion, parsley, garlic, thyme, salt and pepper. Use immediately or refrigerate in a tightly covered jar for up to 2 days.
Makes about 5 cups, enough for a large roast, leg of lamb or whole chicken.
