Good Eats

We are home from the cottage and likely more pale then before we left.  Despite the rain nearly everyday ,we had a relaxing vacation with friends.  One of the highlights - the food!  As mentioned in my previous post, each couple signed up for a day of cooking.  The dinners were amazing!!  Throughout the course of the week we had steak and potatoes with sauteed mushrooms, homemade pita pizzas on the BBQ, beef and chicken tacos with fresh guacamole, lasagna from scratch with double cheese garlic bread, and pork souvlaki with tzatiki.  YUM! As promised, here are my recipes. 

Tzatiki Ingredients
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 cloves garlic (I had forgotten this so I used garlic powder instead)
1 container of Greek yogurt (about 1.5 cups)  PC has an awesome one for $3.99
1 cucumber, peeled and finely chopped
2 teaspoon dried dill
salt and pepper to taste

Mix everything together at least two hours before serving and chill in fridge.  Serve with pork souvlaki kabobs for dipping.

Pork Souvlaki Ingredients
1 lemon, juiced (or 1 tablespoon of lemon juice concentrate)
1/4 cup olive oil
1/4 cup soy sauce
1 teaspoon dried oregano
3 cloves garlic, minced
4 lbs pork tenderloin, cubed (fat trimmed)

Method
Mix everything together in a bowl and drizzle over prok. Put in fridge to marinate for at least 12 hours.  Thread onto kabob sticks and throw on the BBQ until cooked through, about 6-7 minutes each side. Don't forget to soak sticks in water for about 30 minutes so they don't burn.
