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.

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!
