I served Chile Rubbed Pork Chops last night at our first day of summer cook out. We loved this recipe and will serve it again soon!
We have your Treasures of the Mexican Table cook book and have enjoyed many of the recipes found there, especially the salsas.
I look forward to your shows on PBS and to trying more recipes from your book!
Thank you!

I love to watch Pati’s show on PBS because I lean new recipes every time. Mexican cuisine is so vast and rich that it is never the same thing, there is always something new to learn. I am from Chihuahua and love to learn recipes from other parts of Mexico.
Recently I made the Red Chile Rubbed Porks chops -oh my goodness- what an experience! It was an explosion of flavors. Sweet, sour, and spicy – just heaven in your mouth!
Thank you Pati for taking us on culinary trips all the time.

Very nice, flavorful pork chops. I added a little Tajin to the spice mix. I did not do the grape salad, but rather served it with Southern style peas, fancy greens, and Mexican cornbread. Everyone went back for seconds. Another great recipe from Pati.

Easy & quick for a week night and sophisticated, with complex flavors for a special dinner. I served a first course of Avocado crostini with arugula.
A winner!

Pati, I watch you religiously on our PBS channel, Saturday mornings! And I LOVE Juju! Tried the chile rubbed pork chops, and they were delicious! I ran out of ancho powder, so, I used regular chile powder, added some smoked paprika and black pepper to the blend and it came out great! Made the grape salad, only, I added cucumbers along with grapes. Turned into a great mid-week meal! Thanks for another great recipe!
