"This recipe comes from ‘Barbecue, delicious recipes for outdoor cooking’ by Louise Pickford. I'm often want to use thyme as I adore the smell.

Time does not include..."

"The quintessential Mediterranean street food--I lived off these as a student in Malta, and I've been tweaking my recipe to match the flavors I remember. I think I finally nailed it down!

Note, please: It is important to use GOOD lemons, because if your lemon juice isn't top notch quality, this just won't be as good. Also..."

"Posting for ZWT3. This is from George Foreman’s grilling cookbook. “There are Middle Eastern overtones to this dish, and why not? The Turks have been grilling lamb over an open fire since the Ottoman Empire. Instead of threading the traditional onion, tomato and green pepper with the meat, we used figs and roasted beets… Serve couscous studded with..."

Ingredients: loin lamb, lime slices...

"I've lived in the Middle East for almost a decade and a half, and this recipe was the one we always used when we went camping out in the sand dunes. We'd do the marinade at home, throw everything in ziploc bags into the cooler, then hit the road, and by the time we got there and had the BBQ going, these wings were ready to plop on the fire...."
