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.
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.

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)

Oregano, Olive Oil, Lemon Peel and Juice, Soy Sauce and Brown Sugar. Delicious marinade for BBQ Pork Chops…..nom nom
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.
I have to go now…….I’m dribbling!

RE: previous post….leave out the soy and sugar for the roasted marinade and replace with fresh rosemary and thyme : )
