Grilled Pork Tenderloin Wtih Green Chile Tomatillo Sauce Recipe
This is a tasty grilled pork dish. Different cuts of pork will work but we like the tenderloin best as it is lean and tender when grilled. I served the pork with annatto rice, green beans, flautas and guacamole.
For a wine we had a 2008 Fenestra Lodi Silvaspoons Vineyards Alvarelhao. This grape is traditionally grown in Portugal. It is medium bodied with complex flavors of plum, cherry and spice.
