In 1 word FANTASTIC! Just the kind of recipe I was looking for, simple easy and ever so tasty. I had wondferul thick boneless porkchops that I had planned on stuffing but after seeing the marinade I knew it wouldn't be necessary. I only marinaded for a little over an hour but next time I'll try for 24 as for a richer taste. I did use a fork and poked holes in the chops on all 4 sides to allow the marinade to enter. I used a can of chipotle sauce instead of the chilis in sauce and I added 1 tsp of oil and grilled them turning every 5 minutes pouring a little of the marinade on top each time. Served this with grilled corn on the cob along with a cold Italian pasta salad. Great recipe!

I love food. I love my family. I love my animals. I love life. I really enjoy simple but special recipes. My "kids" (2 "big dogs" and a cat) usually are my taste testers...(not to mention disposals)... I look forward to having some human responses to my creations.....More than that, I hope you enjoy and find some happiness in all of them. I've enjoyed creating/collecting, it is my priviledge to share with my Zaar friends!
Favorite cookbook? Of my 500 or so, I must say Sid Goldstein's "The Wine Lover's Cookbook" takes top rank. Decadent, but absolutely amazing food, and pairs everything up with the appropriate wine to boot!
