Name: Minted Turkish Delight Marinade
Yield: Makes about 1 1/2 cups
Ingredients: 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

Mint and spices add a Turkish flair to this yogurt-based marinade. The flavors are perfect with lamb kebabs or chicken. It's also a good dip for crudités or pita bread.

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.
