Main Dishes

Bring the flavors of a Greek taverna to your grill with these juicy, lemon-kissed skewers. Cubes of pork tenderloin soak up a marinade of olive oil, garlic, oregano, and citrus, then char over high heat until smoky-edged and tender. Tuck them into warm pita with cool tzatziki for a meal that tastes like a sunny holiday. Marinate overnight and the payoff at dinner is well worth the wait.
