Very easy, very good. Made to recipe except added 1tbs chopped fresh rosemary and marinated the pork for about an hour while we prepped the rest of dinner. Served with bitter greens salad, the recommended Swiss chard and (thanks so much for the tip, Whygal) CL's creamy parmesan orzo. Beautiful presentation and great flavors
