2 teaspoons olive oil

Nonstick vegetable oil spray

Preparation

  1. Step 1

    Combine first 3 ingredients in small bowl. Gradually whisk in vinegar. Let stand 15 minutes. Whisk in apple juice concentrate, brown mustard, rosemary, and oil. Season marinade to taste with coarse salt and pepper.

    Step 2
