  • Making Use of Leftover Pork

    This would be great with either leftover pork roast or pork tenderloin. I used the leftover pork tenderloin I’d barbecued a few days back but the book I got it from suggested leftover pork roast. I seem to be having an issue posting Amazon links so will forfeit the 50 cents I’d make off the…
