This is absolutely delicious. It deserves more than 5 stars. It was easy to make. The directions were easy to follow The flavors blended together really well. I had it with Recipe #255022. I can't eat lettuce very well, so I didn't put it on lettuce leaves. The leftovers were really good too. That is a factor in my rating a recipe. I don't like putting money into making something and not be able to use the leftovers. I will definitely be making this again I am always looking for recipes for pork. Thank you for sharing your recipe Lazarus It was fun adopting you for PAC Spring '08.
