Spiedies Marinade Sauce

Most bottled commercial Spiedie mixtures,
are both expensive and use a little too much oil.
This recipe produces a more tangy sauce,
and will marinate up to three pounds of meat.

Ingredients:
Any meat of your choice, lamb, chicken, pork
8 bay leaves (crumbled up)
4 tsp oregano
8 sm cloves of fresh garlic, minced
1/2 C lemon juice
1/2 C salad oil or fruity olive oil (preferred)
3/4 C vinegar (any variety)
1 tsp pepper
3 tsp salt (or to taste)

Directions:
Mix all ingredients together in a non-metallic dish.
Add meat, cover, and marinate in the refrigerator
for at least 24 hours; stir occasionally.
Olive oil will solidify when refrigerated,
so remove the Spiedies once or twice per day
to allow the oil to “melt”, then stir.
Spiedies can be left marinating for 2 to 5 days.
