A super simple marinade that can be used on seafood, chicken and pork.
Poor Greece. Currently, it's a sad state of affairs with years of suffering in the horizon. Although in some sense we can only read the newspapers helplessly, there is one thing we could actually do to help this nation. By going on holiday in Greece and supporting their tourism industry.
In the meantime, here is a marinade recipe that I shot with The Real Greek earlier this year.
Would you like to save this?
We'll email this post to you, so you can come back to it later!
In the photos we marinated calamari for a few hours before flinging them on the barbecue for a smokey flavour. This will all be covered in the next recipe.

Poor Greece indeed. I love going there and it's been a while so maybe time to go back and enjoy delicious dishes such as this, fresh from the sea!

Homemade mayo made with sunflower oil as I have allergies. Never knew how easy it was. You can add garlic or spices and herbs to it.

Or for roasted chops with pears, halved and cored with stuffing placed in the natural bowl shape left by removing the cores with a teaspoon.

This marinade sounds delicious Michelle, and definitely going on my list of things to try out this BBQ season. I usually do a lime, soy, chilli and honey one, but it's always good to mix things up 🙂

I have a delicious Jamaican Jerk Marinade, which is great for Chicken and Pork. But it has about 20 ingredients, so I need to be well organised (or else experimental) ;o)
