Tavern Direct offers a variety of gourmet marinades & sauces, balsamic vinegars, flavored oils, dipping oils and bbq & grilling sauces that are used in their New York restaurant, Tavern on the Green.  I recently had the opportunity to try the Tavern Direct Toscana Garlic Parmesan Marinade.  This marinade is a zesty, Caesar-style blend of olive oil, garlic, parmesan cheese and lemon.  I was thrilled to find out that it's not only kosher made but gluten free!  The ingredients are natural with nothing that isn't easily recognizable: olive oil, parmesan, garlic, lemon, white wine vinegar, and spices. It doesn't get much better than that!

I recently had the chance to try the Asian Lemon Marinade, Dipping & Finishing Sauce. This is an all natural sauce that's perfect for salmon, chicken, mushrooms, eggplant, tuna, steak, wild game & swordfish and can be used on the grill, in stir fry or even on a roast. We chose to use the Asian Lemon Marinade, Dipping & Finishing Sauce in a Chicken Stir Fry.  

The  Asian Lemon Marinade contains soy sauce, water, expeller pressed canola oil, lemon juice, balsamic vinegar, herbs & spices. It is the perfect addition to a stir fry and is sort of a blend of soy, garlic and lemon. Definitely delicious!
