This Healthy Greek BBQ Pork Loin is marinated in a zesty blend of herbs and spices, creating a succulent and flavorful dish. Perfectly grilled, it celebrates the essence of Greek cuisine while being light and nutritious.

Ingredients

• Pork loin - 300 grams
• Olive oil - 2 tablespoons
• Lemon juice - 2 tablespoons
• Garlic - 3 cloves, minced
• Oregano - 1 tablespoon, dried
• Thyme - 1 teaspoon, dried
• Salt - 1 teaspoon
• Black pepper - 1/2 teaspoon
• Red onion - 1, sliced
• Bell pepper - 1, sliced
• Zucchini - 1, sliced
• Feta cheese - 50 grams, crumbled
• Fresh parsley - 2 tablespoons, chopped

Steps

1. In a bowl, combine olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, oregano, thyme, salt, and black pepper to create a marinade.
2. Place the pork loin in the marinade, ensuring it is well-coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 2 hours for more flavor.
3. Preheat the grill to medium-high heat.
4. Remove the pork loin from the marinade and let excess marinade drip off. Discard the remaining marinade.
5. Grill the pork loin for about 25-30 minutes, turning occasionally, until the internal temperature reaches 63°C (145°F).
6. While the pork is grilling, toss the sliced red onion, bell pepper, and zucchini in a little olive oil and season with salt and pepper.
7. Add the vegetables to the grill during the last 10 minutes of cooking, turning until they are tender and slightly charred.
8. Once cooked, remove the pork from the grill and let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing.
9. Serve the sliced pork loin with grilled vegetables, topped with crumbled feta cheese and fresh parsley.
