Vegetable Kebabs with Greek Marinade

  • ACTIVE:
  • TOTAL TIME:
  • SERVINGS: 4

Greeks use this marinade to spice up lamb, poultry and seafood, but Steven Raichlen likes it on vegetable kebabs. Use red wine when marinating red meats, white wine for poultry and seafood. For a special, if untraditional, marinade that works with either, try retsina (a resin-flavored Greek wine).

Our Pairing Suggestion

The herbal flavors of a Washington State Sauvignon Blanc would pair well with the grilled vegetables.
