INSTRUCTIONS
Date: Wed, 7 Feb 1996 11:02:05 -0700 (PDT) From: Lorraine Heidecker <lheid@saclink.csus.edu> Smush up together in a morter and pestle the garlic, fresh mint leaves and fresh jalapeno (I seed mine). Add lemon Juice and olive oil. Muddle all together, and dump on a pan of chicken parts. Turn to coat. Cover and refrigerate for at least four hours. When ready to cook, let the chicken return to room temp and grill over charcoal until done. Meantime, make another batch of the marinade to use as additional dressing while serving. A nice touch is to brush the stuff on with a bunch of fresh mint - but a pastry brush works just fine. I usually serve the above with potato salad, crusty sourdough and a green veggie of some sort. (The last in deference to my Mom). The marinade/sauce is really flexible. You could experiment with different varieties of chiles (chipotle would be interesting!), add more garlic, etc. The chicken will need to be salted at table.
