1. Blend together: garlic, olive oil, mayonnaise, and yogurt, thenseason with salt and pepper. Add sumac if you desire (if you don't have any, add just a few drops of lemon juice). Place in fridge. Taste before serving to confirm a flavour profile you like.
2. Mix together marinade in large bowl (or bag if you prefer): garlic, salt and pepper, tomato, oregano, thyme, paprika, allspice, cilantro stems, and chicken. Set in fridge and let flavour for 1 to 2 hours.
3. Prepare bbq and cook chicken to 165F. Garnish with cilantro and garlic sauce. Serve with grilled tomatoes, zucchini, or basmati rice.
Susie's Tips and Tricks
Remember, marinades add flavour, they don't tenderize.
Sumac is a tart berry that is similar to lemon juice. It can be found in Persian stores.
If making a kabob-style dinner, include bell peppers and some onions too!
