The flavors of Morocco in this delicious marinade. Skewered and grilled to give the meat a nice char.
Marinade would work well on beef too!
Suggested marinade time - 6 to 24 hours.

Notes

Substitution for Aleppo Pepper - 4 parts sweet paprika and one part cayenne chile powder.  This will give the hints of sweetness with a kick of spice.
