Introduction

From Cooking.com: "Greeks use this marinade to spice up lamb, poultry and seafood, but I also like it on vegetable kebabs. Use red wine when marinating red meats, white wine for poultry and seafood. For a special, if nontraditional, marinade that works with either, try retsina (a resin-flavored Greek wine)."

Ingredients

    For the Marinade:

    4 garlic cloves, minced
    3 bay leaves
    1/2 cup extra virgin olive oil
    3/4 cup dry white wine or retsina
    2 tbsp fresh lemon juice
    1 tbsp chopped oregano
    1 tsp sea salt
    1 tsp freshly grated lemon zest
    1/2 tsp freshly ground black pepper

    For the Kebabs:

    1 large red bell pepper, cut into 1-inch dice
    1 medium sweet onion, cut lengthwise into 4 wedges
    2 small zucchini, cut into 1/2-inch thick rounds
    1 pint cherry tomatoes
    1 pound boiled small potatoes

Directions

To make the marinade: Stir all ingredients together in a bowl.

Assemble the kebabs: Light a grill. Thread the vegetables onto skewers. Brush generously with the marinade and cook over a medium-hot fire, basting a few times with the additional marinade, until the vegetables are tender and lightly charred, about 4 minutes per side.

Transfer kebabs to a plate and serve.
