Memories of upstate New York..  And the rain ended just as I finished cooking them.

    They sell a bottled spiedie marinade here, but it's way to salty for me.  I've played around with a couple different recipes and ended up with this:

    Spiedies

    1 cup oil

    ¼ cup white vinegar

    2 Tbs lemon juice

    1 tsp Ground garlic

    ½ tsp Rosemary

    1 tsp Oregano

    ¾ tsp basil

    ½ tsp parsley

     Cut up chicken, pork or lamb into 1 inch cubes

    Mix all ingredients in zip lock bag and marinate overnight

    Heat grill to 450 degrees

    Place meat on skewers

    Grill for 10 – 15 minutes or until done

    Using a thick slice of Italian bread, grip the meat and slide off skewer

    Eat and enjoy

    A former coworker used to bring these into the office, every time he brought down an elk!   :-bd

    I use that for shrimp all the time. Never thought to use it for spiedies. May have to try it next time. The recipe I posted is not very salty - no salt at all. Just the lemon and vinegar. Tastes like what I remember from my days in that area.

    Looks good from where I'm sitting!

    Looking pretty nice. Your marinade is kinda a deluxe souvlaki marinade. The addition of rosemary, basil and parsley makes it kindmore of a Mediterranean meat on a stick, never heard the term Spiedies - as always you are a fountain of information, like the chicken and waffles you turned me on to. Thanks!
