wp-content/uploads/2012/01/greek-pork.jpg

Whilst we might not have had many sunny days this summer, it’s still pretty warm and cooking outside is always a good option for keeping the house cool.

Ingredients:

4 pork medallions
2 tbsp olive oil
2 tbsp Greek seasoning
2 tbsp parsley
1 clove garlic, crushed
100g feta cheese
1/2 cup parsley leaves, finely chopped
1 ripe tomato, seeded and diced
1/2 cup kalamata olives, pitted
1 small cucumber, seeded and chopped
2 tbsp lemon juice
200g haloumi cheese, sliced
Salt and pepper
Warm pita bread and yoghurt dip to serve (optional)

Method:

In a small bowl blend together the olive oil, Greek seasoning, parsley and garlic to a smooth paste. Spread the paste over the pork medallions and allow to marinate for up to 4 hours refrigerated.
BBQ pork medallions on a medium heat 4 – 5 minutes each side and allow to rest in a warm place for 3 – 4 minutes.
Combine the crumbled feta, parsley leaves, tomato, olives and cucumber in a small bowl with the lemon juice and salt and pepper.
Heat a small non-stick pan over a low heat and spray with a little oil. Pan fry Haloumi cheese until golden on each side. Drain on absorbent paper.

Cheers, Alison
