    The sauce is so good! Pork chops were pretty good too, but the sauce is the star of this dish.

    Braised some pork shoulder in beer, coriander seeds, garlic, and Mexican oregano and used the sauce to tie it all together. It was even better the next day in taco form!

    This is one of our favorite dishes to make from Tuesday Nights, which is saying something because this cookbook is so good. The guajillo chiles can't take a substitution. This last time, we were out of arbol chiles so I used a Dried Chipotle, and it still turned out good. We use half the amount of peanuts, its a little strong for me otherwise. Our favorite side is a roasted sweet potato with a little butter. I agree with others to reduce the salt in the rub. Perfection!

    This was really flavorful. I didn’t see the comments about the salt but totally agree with everyone that a tablespoon is too much. Luckily I thought that on my own and didn’t use all the rub. I also made ALL the peanut sauce so will have to freeze some. I don’t usually cook pork chops because I never get them right. But these turned out great. I really enjoyed them and the sauce was great. Overall very flavorful and delicious!

    Grilled pork chops instead of pan frying came out fine. Would use less salt in rub maybe 1 1/2tsp or 1 3/4 tsp instead of full tablespoon. Froze extra sauce for use on rotisserie chicken.

    Make half the sauce unless you want to freeze some and use only 3/4 of the salt for the rub. The sauce was good on tamales as well.

    Love the flavors of the sauce. It would actually work on other proteins too - chicken, pork loin.
