LEMON, HERB & GARLIC MARINADE
I've adapted this from a Jamie Oliver recipe. Jamie makes it with his 'flavour shaker' but as most people probably don't have one - you can use a mortar and pestle. Use this marinade for steak, chicken or fish. It imparts a wonderful flavour. We had it with steak and it made it beautifully moist and tender and lemony - quite a different taste for steak but absolutely delicious! Quantities given should make enough to marinade 2-3 steaks or 2 large chicken breasts or 4 fillets of fish.

Steps:
- Roughly chop the rosemary leaves, thyme leaves, and lavender flower/s or leaves (if using).
- Place herbs, salt and pepper into a mortar and pound with a pestle, until herbs are crushed and fragrant.
- Add garlic and lemon zest and pound until garlic makes a paste - add a little of the olive oil if necessary.
- Now stir in the lemon juice and the olive oil and mix together.
- Pour mixture into a small screwtop jar. Fix lid securely and shake vigorously until mixture thickens and emulsifies.
