This is THE most AWESOME grill marinade I’ve ever tasted in my life! I don’t know where my Mom got this, but there is no match that I’ve ever known of…it is simplicity and freshness, yet rich, robust and succulent! I haven’t told you this one yet, because I was entering it in a grilling contest for a Weber grill, but I can’t hold back any longer! It is wonderful for chicken breasts and also for lamb. My Mom used to make chicken and lamb kabobs with this marinade and we always wanted more!!! NOTE: Prep time does not include the 24-48 hours marinating time. UPDATE: My grill has died….So in desperation to taste this chicken again, I tried Bobo3039’s suggestion about baking it in a 350 degree oven…Results were wonderful!!! (Still missed that charcoal essence, but one must “roll with the punches” and make do…In this case, Bobo3039 was right on the money!)
My daughter brought this recipe back from her honeymoon in Argentina. It is very simple….the longest part is just marinating. (8 hours). This is not included in prep time as it is inactive prep time. Any leftovers are great on a sandwich or on a salad!
Yeah, these are a tad different. Remember you don’t have to eat them just as steak/burger/patty thingie, You can slap ’em onion buns (Or whatever buns/bread you like) and play around with your fav. condiments if you want. I know someone who actually makes a gravy (of sorts) out of veggie broth. onions, cornstarch and some other odds and ends I’m not sure of and makes his own style of an open face sandwich with mashed taters and wilted lettuce along with this burger and puts his crazy gravy thing on it., I also think he omits most if not all of the mint. I myself am not a mint fan, and usually only use just about 1/3 of what’s called for, and I don’t use the mint garnish. Support Our Cattle Farmers!!
Alger, our mailman in the early 1980s in West Glenville, NY, gave us some of his homemade kielbasa to try and I BEGGED him for the recipe after we tried it. I have kept that recipe for 30 years now without actually making it, but we dragged it out again, planning to try it sometime soon, as we have natural casings on hand and a sausage stuffing attachment for our KitchenAid. The recipe is writtren in Alger’s words, not mine, so you may find it vague.Here’s to Alger, wherever he may be!
If using a grill, try to avoid cooking too quickly or burning. Posted for Zaar World Tour 2006. Cooking time includes marinating time.
