This is from a cooking class that Julia went to years ago. It is extremely easy and very versatile. We've done Peruvian Chicken, Peruvian Pork Tenderloin and I think we did fish one time too. Remember to keep basting the chicken/pork/etc. with the marinade throughout the cooking process. YIELD Makes 2 to 4 servings ACTIVE TIME 50 min TOTAL TIME 9 3/4 hr
