Method
Pork Souvlaki
- To prevent burning, soak wooden skewers in water for 30 minutes.
- Chop pork fillet into bite size chunks.
- Place pork in a large bowl along with all marinade ingredients. Ensure all pork pieces are coated with marinade.
- Marinade in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours (or overnight)
- Thread pork onto wooden skewers and place on an oiled barbecue grill. Cook for approximately 5 minutes each side or until golden and cooked through.
- Remove from barbecue, cover and allow to rest for several minutes.
Easy Tomato Salad
- In a small bowl or jar, add olive oil, vinegar and mustard. Mix or shake well.
- Cut the tomatoes into thick slices. Arrange on a platter and scatter over red onion.
- Drizzle over dressing and season with a pinch sea salt and pepper. Scatter basil or parsley over the salad and serve.
Tzatziki
- Rinse and trim the ends of the cucumber. Cut the cucumber in half lengthways and use a teaspoon to scoop out the seeds. Using a grater, grate the cucumber in a large bowl. Next, place the grated cucumber in a metal strainer and add a sprinkling of salt. Use the back of a spoon or your fist to squeeze out the excess liquid. Discard the liquid.
- Place strained cucumber in another bowl. Add all other ingredients and mix to combine.
- Garnish with a few dill or mint sprigs.
