• If you prefer a milder spice level, reduce the amount of cayenne pepper in the stuffing mixture.
• Serve the Centrafrican-style Stuffed Pork Rolls with a side of steamed vegetables or a fresh salad to balance the flavors.
• For an extra burst of flavor, squeeze some fresh lemon juice over the pork rolls before serving.
• If you don't have ground coriander, you can use ground cumin as a substitute.
• To ensure even cooking, choose pork loin slices that are of similar thickness.
