EXPERT TIPS

Expert Tips

The tenderloin is considered the choicest of pork cuts. Although higher in price per pound than loin roast, tenderloin is a good value because it is lean and has no waste.

Fresh is best! Fresh lime juice has a brighter flavor than bottled. And you'll only need 1 medium lime for the 2 tablespoons lime juice called for here.

Remember this recipe the next time you have leftover pork.
