PORTUGUESE-STYLE PORK CHOPS (OR CHICKEN)
This recipe honors the Portuguese explorers who did so much to introduce peppers to the Old World. Try to start this the day before you plan to serve it so the paste can really flavor the meat. For Chicken variation, see directions in steps. Nice served with rice. From Eating Well.

- Keep remainder warm.
- Meanwhile, heat grill to medium-high.
