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.

Bourbon BBQ Sauce
A tangy tomato, vinegar, mustard and bourbon whiskey based barbecue sauce that’s the perfect mop for grilled Chicken, Beef, and Pork.
