Minted Turkish Delight Marinade

 

The recipe makes enough to marinate 1 1/2 pounds of lamb or chicken, with some

remaining to serve on the side. Any marinade coming in contact with raw meat,

seafood or poultry must be boiled for one minute before using it for basting.

 

1 cup plain yogurt

2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice

1 teaspoon grated lemon peel

1 cup chopped fresh mint

2 large garlic cloves, minced

1 teaspoon salt

1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon

1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper

1/4 teaspoon ground allspice

 

Whisk yogurt, lemon juice and peel in small bowl until smooth. Add mint, garlic,

salt, cinnamon, cayenne and allspice. (Can be made 1 day ahead. Cover; chill.)

Marinate lamb or chicken in half of marinade at least 1 hour or up to 4 hours in

refrigerator. Remove from marinade, leaving thin coating of marinade on lamb or

chicken. Grill. Passing remaining half of marinade separately.

Makes about 1 1/2 cups.

I saw the title Turkish Delight and thought of the Narnia book, The Lion, The

Witch and the Wardrobe. This doesn't sound like what they were talking about

in the movie though. LOL There must be more than one kind of Turkish Delight.
