Method

Pork Souvlaki

  1. To prevent burning, soak wooden skewers in water for 30 minutes. 
  2. Chop pork fillet into bite size chunks.  
  3. Place pork in a large bowl along with all marinade ingredients. Ensure all pork pieces are coated with marinade.  
  4. Marinade in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours (or overnight) 
  5. 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.  
  6. Remove from barbecue, cover and allow to rest for several minutes.  

Easy Tomato Salad 

  1. In a small bowl or jar, add olive oil, vinegar and mustard. Mix or shake well.  
  2. Cut the tomatoes into thick slices. Arrange on a platter and scatter over red onion.  
  3. Drizzle over dressing and season with a pinch sea salt and pepper. Scatter basil or parsley over the salad and serve.  

Tzatziki 

  1. 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. 
  2. Place strained cucumber in another bowl. Add all other ingredients and mix to combine.   
  3. Garnish with a few dill or mint sprigs.
