Spiedie mix – by Chris Nosse

• Finely chop a handful of fresh mint leaves
• Mince garlic cloves
• Juice one lemon
• In a large mixing bowl, combine the chopped mint, minced garlic, and lemon juice
• Pour in the bottle of Italian dressing
• Mix well to ensure all ingredients are thoroughly combined

Marinate the Meat

• Place your choice of poultry or meat into a large resealable plastic bag or a shallow dish
• Pour the marinade over the meat, ensuring it is well-coated
• Seal the bag or cover the dish with plastic wrap
• Place it in the refrigerator and marinate for 1 to 2 days, turning the meat occasionally to ensure even marination

Cook the Marinated Meat

• When ready to cook, remove the meat from the marinade and discard any remaining marinade
• Skewer the meat onto skewers (if desired for traditional spiedies)
• Cook the meat using your preferred method (grilling is traditional)
