Heavenly! The flavours of the lemon, garlic and herbs are fantastic and the lemon juice really tenderizes the pork. I made this with 2 tenderloins left whole, which made it even easier, but next time I will try it with the meat cubed and skewered. Wonderful recipe, Bergy!

Very yummy! The marinade smelled like heaven when I opened the ziplock. I used lamb leg instead of pork loin, and was suprised at how tender it was. I love the tang that the lemon juice gives to the meat, really perks up the flavor. I'm looking forward to trying this marinade again, on both pork and chicken. Thanks for a great recipe!
