How ’bout this for starters??
Greek-style Pork Wraps
2 tablespoons olive oil
¼ cup lemon juice
1 tablespoon regular mustard
1-3/4 teaspoons minced garlic, divided (you are not going to use this all at once)
1 tablespoon dried oregano
1 pork tenderloin (about 1 pound)
1 cup chopped peeled cucumber, seeds removed, (cucumber seeds can give you a tummy-ache)
1 cup plain yogurt
dash or 2 of salt
¼ teaspoon dill weed
8 flour tortillas~ soft taco size
½ cup chopped green onions
-
In a large resealable plastic bag, combine lemon juice, oil, mustard, 1-1/4 teaspoons garlic and oregano; add pork. Seal bag and turn to coat; refrigerate for about 2 hours. In a bowl, combine the cucumber, yogurt, salt, dill and remaining garlic; cover and refrigerate until serving.
-
Drain and discard marinade(you NEVER want to use marinade that has been with uncooked meat!!). Coat grill rack with non-stick cooking spray before starting the grill for indirect medium-hot heat. Grill tenderloin, uncovered, over direct heat for 5 minutes, turning once. Move to indirect heat. Cover; cook 10-15 minutes longer or until a meat thermometer reads 160F. Please check the temp! You don’t want to eat raw meat!!
-
Let stand for 5 minutes to let the juices settle themselves.
-
Meanwhile, wrap tortillas in foil; place on grill for 2-3 minutes or until warmed, turning once. Slice tenderloin into strips; place on tortillas. Top each with 3 tablespoons yogurt sauce and 1 tablespoon green onions. The sauce MAKES this dish!
Should make 4 servings of 2 each.
Spicy breakfast?? MMM-HMM!! Something that’ll wake ya up? Chorizo and potatoes~YUM!
k it, take the skin off of it. I think it’s pig belly, which sounds kind of nasty, but if it works and we want authentic….??? Pig Belly it is!! (just take it off and DON”T LOOK!!)
So how was Mother’s Day?? We ATE! A LOT!! We went to a little Mexican Restaurant here in Corona and I had some delicious carnitas. Gonna have to learn how to make those…any ideas? I would also love to learn how to make a pig in a pit! You know, like at a Luau. MMMMMM!!!!
