Cat Cora's Recipes:
Pork Skewers with Feta-Mint Tzatziki- (Serves 6)
Pork that’s marinated overnight in a combination of fresh lemon juice, fresh orange juice, and spices is flavorful and succulent with a little bit of a kick. I use boneless center cut extra-thick pork
chops for this dish. If you don’t have time to do this the night before, try to marinate for at least 3 hours before grilling, (but if you only have 30 minutes to marinate, go for it; you’ll still get a
little tangy fruit flavor on your pork). Threading the skewers with chunks of fresh lemon and orange,
with their peels still on, gives you color that complements the pork- and you can squeeze the grilled fruit over the meat for an extra hit of flavor. Soak the wooden skewers in water for at least 60 minutes before threading on the meat. And if the weather isn’t cooperating, you can make these skewers under your broiler too.
8 to 10 8-inch wooden skewers, soaked
2 pounds boneless pork, cut into 1 1/2-inch strips or cubes
2 whole oranges, cut into wedges for the skewers
3 whole lemons, cut into wedges for the skewers
Marinade
1/2 cup plus 3 tablespoons olive oil
1/4 cup fresh lemon juice
1/4 cup fresh orange juice
1/2 teaspoon dried chili flakes
1 teaspoon chili powder
2 tablespoons minced garlic
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
6 pita rounds, sliced into two half-moon shapes
Iceberg or Romaine lettuce, shredded
Make the marinade by combining the olive oil, juices, chili flakes, chili powder, garlic, salt, and pepper. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes (although I prefer to marinate for 3 hours or overnight).
Soak skewers in a shallow pan of water for at least one hour. Thread skewers with 3 or 4 pieces of marinated pork, alternating with small wedges of lemons and oranges. Place skewers on
an area of the grill with no direct flame. Continue to brush marinade during grilling, until meat is browned, about 8 to 10 minutes or to desired doneness.
Serve immediately in pita pockets topped with shredded salad and tzatziki.
Feta-Mint Tzatziki- (Makes 1 1/2 cups)
Not all feta tastes the same. Try this with Greek feta or an American artisanal feta and see how different the final result tastes. Mint adds a cool flavor and nice flecks of color to this version of a Greek classic.
1 cup plain yogurt, strained (see note below)
2 tablespoons crumbled feta cheese
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
2 tablespoons good olive oil
1 teaspoon minced garlic (about 1 large clove)
1 teaspoon kosher salt
2 teaspoons finely chopped mint
1 cucumber, peeled
In a medium bowl, combine all ingredients except the cucumber. Using an old-fashioned box grater, grate the cucumber directly over the yogurt mixture. Cover the bowl, put it in the refrigerator, and
chill for at least an hour or overnight.
Cat’s Note: Greek yogurt is so thick you can place a spoon in the middle, walk away, and the spoon will remain standing right where you left it. American yogurt is much thinner. If you don’t have time to
strain, don’t worry; you can use the yogurt right out of the carton and the flavor will still be just fine.
