Greek Grilling Marinade Recipe

[kosta_karapinotis]

I love grilling. I started making a marinade with these ingredients that I find I can use with a lot of different meats when I want a "Greek" flavor. I also use it for souvlaki:

- 1/4 cup lemon juice
- 1 garlic clove, chopped fine
- 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon pepper
- 1/2 cup olive oil

I add the ingredients to a mason jar, cover it, and shake it.

This is pretty close to what I do, but I don't always have garlic on hand - it runs out fast! If that happens, I use dried garlic. Sometimes out of laziness I might not even put the seasoning and I just shake some dried garlic, oregano, salt, and pepper over the meat before grilling it after it comes out of the lemon/olive oil mixture.

I forgot to mention that sometimes I add red pepper flakes to give it some heat. I know that isn't always a Greek thing, to put heat in the food, but I like hot foods sometimes.
