Pork Loin Chops With Cascabel And Grapefruit Sauce Recipe

	Jimrug1 / All my dishes 1 year, 7 months ago At first look, this recipe may appear to have simple flavors, but the cooked citrus juice and allspice together create a quite complex taste and aroma. Cascabel chiles (Available at most well stocked stores) have a pleasing warmth rather than a searing heat.... More Prep:30m Cook:45m Servings:4	Jimrug1

Does this work with chicken too? I am going to try to find the cascabel chiles. are they small like chiles de arbol?

I love pork at my base chakra, but I am trying to evolve and stop eating pig meat. by the way, most all pork sold in the usa has been gm modified since 1986 or '96 (the date is scrambled in my brain) but I GOT the Message.
