Anna Post and Lizzie Post share their favorite all-purpose marinade for summer grilling from their entertaining books, Great Get-Togethers. This works well with chicken, pork, shrimp, tofu, or lamb kebabs.  Makes enough for 2 pounds of meat or shrimp.

• Juice of 2 lemons
• 1 garlic clove, mashed to a pulp
• 1/4 cup olive oil
• 2 tablespoons grated onion
• 3 teaspoons salt (or less)
• 1 teaspoon ground chile peppers (or to taste!)
• 2 teaspoons curry powder
• 1 teaspoon ground coriander
• 1 teaspoon powdered ginger

Combine all ingredients.  Store in a glass bottle in the fridge for up to a week.
