One of our favorite marinades for those quick and easy evenings when time is short is Kraft's Zesty Italian Dressing. It has a delightful flavor and the oil is there to protect the meat. This recipe is for those who have a little more time on their hands and want to improve the flavor!

Let's get started... Begin by collecting the following:

    2 cups olive oil
    1 cup white vinegar
    1/2 cup white wine
    1/4 cup water
    1/3 cup onion, grated
    1 Tbs red pepper, crushed
    1 tbs fresh basil, minced
    1 Tbs fresh parsley, minced
    4 cloves garlic, minced
    1 tsp black pepper
    1 tsp salt
    1/2 tsp cayenne

Preparation is quite easy once you have all the ingredients. Simply combine everything in a glass, steel or coated saucepan and heat to a boil. Stir constantly since the tomato paste and sugar will burn easily. Reduce heat and simmer for 15 minutes - continue stirring. Store in the refrigerator and use over the next few days. Once the word is out, it won't last any longer than that!

Enjoy!
