March comes in like a lion, and out like a lamb

Speaking of lamb, have you tried our Mediterranean Garlic Marinade yet?  I think this is a great time to introduce you to this amazing marinade, because it goes great on lamb, among other things, and it is green, for St. Patricks Day, which is right around the corner, and it goes incredibly well on fish!  Seeing as how it is still lent, I think it is appropriate to give Mediterranean Garlic a little time in the spotlight! 

Quite possibly our most versatile product (Santa Maria lovers may be rolling in their metaphorical graves), Mediterranean Garlic is also a wonderful accompaniment to chicken, shrimp, veggie kabobs, and even as a dip for bread!

Ok, here is the deal with the bread dipping.  Do not, I repeat, DO NOT dip bread straight into the jar!  It really won't taste that amazing straight out of the jar because there is vinegar in all of our marinades to help them penetrate the meat and infuse it with flavor!  All of you Hitchhiker's fans should know: Don't panic! There is a simple solution to make it taste the way it is supposed to.  Once a piece of marinated meat has been cooked, the vinegar has been cooked off and the true flavor profile of the marinade will emerge.  This means, if you want to use Mediterranean Garlic as a dipping sauce for bread, all you have to do is cook off the vinegar by heating some of the marinade in a skillet.  In no time at all, you can pour it in to some kind of a container and you can dip away in delicious mediterranean garlicky goodness!  I would say that is a step up from regular olive oil, wouldn't you? 

Another idea: garlic bread.  Take a delicious loaf of french bread, freshly baked from your local market, and cut it in half langth wise.  Brush some Mediterranean Garlic on each half, sprinkle it with parmesan cheese, and bake.  Voila!  The oven cooks off the vinegar and you are left with the best garlic bread ever! 

Green is the theme for St. Patrick's Day, but I wouldn't recommend wearing the marinade to keep from getting pinched...  While you will succeed in not getting pinched, it won't be because you are wearing green.  It will mostly be because you reek of garlic.  And really folks, we marinate meat, not ourselves.  Enough said.  Maybe carry a jar around in your pocket, just make sure it stands upright.  You may flash the jar at pinchers when needed.

Since Lent is still upon us, another great addition to the fish fry is, obviously, Mediterranean Garlic.  It is wonderful for all kinds of seafood, including shrimp.  I don't know if shrimp counts for Lent, but I had to inform you anyways.  Continuing on Lena's post from a little while ago, give your fish fry goers some variety by offering Mediterranean Garlic fish as well as Lemon Pepper fish!  You won't disappoint. 

Lastly, since Easter is around the corner, try some Mediterranean Garlic for your Easter Lamb Crown Roast!  Check out this lovely recipe below!
