Pork Souvlaki with TzatzikiIt wasn't until I went to Greece that I tasted pork souvlaki (kebab). I'd had lamb souvlaki at greek restaurants and festivals in the US, but never pork, While the pork is not quite as flavorful as lamb, it is healthy and so easy to make from a pork tenderloin or loin roast. In addition to the tzataki, we also served this with… |

Grilled Tuna Steaks over Arugula SaladI adapted this recipe from one in Cook's Illustrated and served it during a trip to San Luis Obispo with friends. The vinaigrette was fantastic and the technique for marinating the fennel bulb slices in the vinaigrette to soften it is definitely a keeper.
