Meat in lemon marinade is a refined dish that harmoniously combines the freshness of citrus and the rich flavor of meat. Thanks to lemon juice and aromatic spices, the meat becomes tender, juicy, and acquires a tangy zest. This marinating method comes from traditional cuisines where meat is prepared for grilling or roasting, infusing it with aromas. Onion adds sweetness and tenderness, while nutmeg adds a spicy depth of flavor. The dish is perfect for grilling or baking, and its aroma awakens the appetite. It is served with vegetables, greens, or light side dishes, creating a vibrant palette of flavors. Ideal for cozy family dinners and festive gatherings.
