Ingredients

6 pork cutlets
2 garlic cloves, crushed in a mortar to a paste
1 tbsp dill, finely chopped
1 tsp salt
75g spring onions, finely chopped
60ml lemon juice
60ml oil
1/4 tsp freshly-ground black pepper
1/4 tsp dried oregano, crumbled

Method:

Trim off all the excess fat from the cutlets. Beat the cutlets with a meat mallet or rolling pin to flatten them. Season with salt.

Heat a barbecue and when hot, place the pork cutlets on it. In a bowl, beat together the oil, lemon juice, garlic, black pepper and oregano. Brush the pork with this mixture every time it's turned. Turn frequently as the pork cooks.

Cook the meat for about 60 minutes, or until cooked through. Serve hot, sprinkled with the dill and onion and accompanied by chips (french fries) and a tomato-based salad.
