Lemon, garlic and oregano are the “trinity” of Mediterranean island cooking. Mint gives light lift to the flavors.
1 tablespoon minced garlic
1 tablespoon finely shredded lemon peel
1 1/2 teaspoons dried rosemary, crushed
1 teaspoon dried mint crushed
1 1/2 teaspoons dried oregano leaves, crushed
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
In a small bowl, stir together the spices. Rub spice mixture evenly over meat, coating the entire surface. Cook meat as desired, or cover and refrigerate for 15 minutes to several hours to boost flavors.
