In Greece they make Souvlaki by marinating chunks of meat, usually pork or lamb, in olive oil, lemon juice and oregano, then they grill it over an open fire. This dish is easy to make at home and you can make it with a grill pan if you do not have access to a bbq or open fire.

A delightful dish of roasted Pork Tenderloin and fennel scented with Rosemary and served on a bed of baby Spinach. A wonderful Spring time dinner.

Served with a sour cream sauce which has been seasoned with fresh chives.
