For Mother’s Day this year Andy made me my favorite meal. Mmmm. He made a fabulous Greek marinated pork roast on the grill, a greek salad, adn some roasted red pepper hummus. Mmmm. I was in heaven. The only thing missing was the Greek style yogurt with figs and honey. (Which I cannot find Greek yogurt around here). So here is my marinade for pork kabobs, and they go well with Tzatziki- a cucumber dressing. Even better if you slide them onto pita bread with some lettuve and tomatoes. Might be leftover night tonight.
My only note here is that I only use 2 Tablespoons of olive oil and the juice and zest of one whole lemon. Everything else stays as written. If you use a whole roast- just give it plenty of time to marinate. Overnight works best. This can be oven roasted or grilled- although grilled really is the best application here.
