Use a very tender cut of pork for this Greek-style grilled entree. Marinate pork, onions and green peppers in an aromatic melange of lemon, olive oil, soy sauce, garlic and oregano. Thread onto skewers and grill.

This zesty marinade makes tenderloins even more tender than they already are. Olive oil, garlic, fresh lime juice, and oregano coat the meat, sealed in a plastic bag for a few hours before grilling.

A spicy marinade adds zip to these grilled beef slices tucked inside pita bread. Friends from Greece gave us their recipe for the cucumber sauce, which provides a cool contrast to the hot beef. I never have to worry about leftovers when I serve these sandwiches. --Lee Rademaker Hayfork, California

This recipe is great made with either fresh or frozen green beans. If you use frozen use the French style beans. This is Greek stew that my mom always made while I was growing up and has now been handed down to my children. Enjoy!

This is a Greek beef stew made with small onions. This is my mom's recipe, and every Fall without fail you could smell it simmering in the kitchen. Serve it with a large bowl of mashed potatoes. Of course a Greek salad, some feta & olives and crusty bread give this meal the final touches. The onions can be time consuming to clean, but well worth it when your family sits down to eat.

What makes the difference in this traditional Greek recipe is the grilled, not fried, vegetables, including eggplant, potatoes and zucchini. It's a lighter version of the famous Greek dish consumed in great quantities every summer in my country, by locals and tourists equally.
