Mediterranean Barbeque Marinade Recipes

The marinades on this page are both variations on a theme, and are really simple to make. They all follow the rule of something acidic, some oil and something to flavor it.

Each should be enough for 6 pieces of chicken – thighs/legs or breasts – or fish.

They will work with vegetables as well, courgette (zucchini), squash, eggplant, etc, to serve as side dishes.
