Greek Herb Rub for Meats

[blopez34]

When I used to attend my friend's Greek Easter celebrations, I remember them rubbing something on the lamb before putting it on the spit.

It was delicious. I want to make some to have on hand for when I grill.

I think these were the ingredients, but I have no idea the proportions. Do you guys have any ideas?

• Salt and Pepper
• Dried oregano
• Dried garlic
• Dried onion
• Dried thyme
• Dried lemon peel

Is the thyme necessary? Can I just use either onion or garlic? I know these are the ingredients my friend's family used.

Don’t be afraid to change it up a bit. Yes you can omit thyme but add a bit more oregano. You can omit the onion if you wish as well. I usually don’t add onion.

I don't add onion either. I usually put lots of oregano, no thyme, and I just dried garlic powder, salt, and pepper. I start the rub by brushing lemon juice on the lamb. I don't use lemon peel.
