INSTRUCTIONS

1. If you haven’t already, remove your protein from the fridge so it can rest before cooking. Ideally, you want your protein out of the fridge for 20-30 mins before you start cooking. If using a grill, turn on and prepare for high heat cooking.

2. Place your Ellenos into a medium mixing bowl to prepare your marinade.

3. In the bowl with yogurt, mince or press your garlic, add the zest and juice of the lemon, add extra virgin olive oil, cumin, all spice, paprika, oregano and coriander, and salt and pepper to taste (a generous pinch is a good starting point).

4. Cover your protein in the marinade and allow the flavors to meld for at least 5 minutes. If using a stove-top, this is a great opportunity to grab your pan and place on high heat.
