I made pulled pork sandwiches for my sister’s lunch club at work and people loved it. (Ed and my brother love this recipe too.) The homemade BBQ sauce is great and could be used as a condiment or with other recipes. This also happens to be my favourite slow cooker recipe. I served the pulled pork on fresh kaiser buns with a side of coleslaw (recipe here) and pickles.
First off, I should inform you that this pork souvlaki recipe is not authentically Greek. It has soy sauce in it, but once the meat is cooked, you can’t tell that it was flavoured with soy sauce. I’ve tried more authentic pork souvlaki recipes in the past, but this is our favourite. It’s easy to make and the meat can be marinated ahead of time for entertaining. It is best cooked on a charcoal BBQ, but any grill or cast iron pan will work.
When it comes to tzatziki, I am extremely picky. Tzatziki (yogurt cucumber dip/sauce) varies in consistency depending on the brand or restaurant, but in my opinion, the thicker the better. My favourite store bought brand of tzatziki is Skotidakis and this can be found at some Costco locations.
I love eggs and eat them often for dinner. Usually, I eat eggs when I’m being lazy, but I decided to make a slightly fancier egg dinner. It was simple to make and delicious. If you want a healthier meal, simply omit the hollandaise sauce. I took this opportunity to learn how to poach eggs properly and I tried Julia Child’s Blender Hollandaise Sauce recipe. See my post on How to Poach an Egg here.
For Valentine’s Day, 2010, I made rosemary lamb loin chops with red wine sauce, wilted baby spinach and whipped potatoes. The link to the recipe for my whipped potatoes is here.
For the spinach, I just heated a tablespoon of olive oil in a saute pan over medium heat and added 3 large handfuls of baby spinach. I cooked them until wilted.
