Filletaggia Hirina Sti Skhara - Pork Fillets on Charcoal

The Cypriots can�t get enough of their pork dishes, so thought this would be a good one to start with. It�s fairly simple to prepare, to get you in the swing of things. Ideally if it�s summer, you can pop the pork fillets on the barbeque for that authentic taste. However, as I�m making these during winter from home, I�m going to make do with the old fashioned grill.

Ingredients

4 Fillets of Pork
1 and a 1/2 Juicy Lemons
1/2 Glass of Olive Oil
Fresh Herbs � Thyme, Rosemary, Rigani (Marjoram)
Freshly Ground Black Pepper and Salt

Preparation (Serves 4)

Prepare your marinade by grinding the herbs with your mortar and pestle and season with a little salt and pepper. Now start to smell the amazing flavours. Next, squeeze the juice from the lemons and add the olive oil. Really give the mixture a good bashing and bruising.
Pour the marinade over the pork fillets in a shallow dish and leave to marinate for 2 hours. Leave longer if possible, turning from time to time.
Preheat the grill or light the barbeque so it�s nice and hot when you start cooking. Grill the pork fillets until they become crisp and brown all round.
Serve the fillets straight from the grill and drizzle over some more marinade to moisten them. Serve with chunks of fresh lemon and a sprinkle of fresh herbs.
Prepare yourself a side salad of iceberg lettuce and cucumber to complement this dish.
Enjoy!
