     this is fabulous! we add extra spice to ours to make it hotter, use low fat peanut butter, and serve over steamed shredded cabbage instead of rice. - 4/16/08

     This reminds me of a West African dish called Mafe, made with more vegetables. My recipe calls for beef and sweet potato. Some call for lamb, egg or just veggies such as cabbage, yams, squash, okra, eggplant, potatoes, peppers or carrots. - 10/8/07

     Have made it several times using pork tenderloin. The family loves it. - 7/31/07

     First SP recipe I've tried. Will make it again. I toasted the sesame seeds, and cooked the pork with a slice of fresh ginger heated in the oil first. Served it on a nest of steamed cabbage, with a scoop of brown rice in the center. It was yummy! Will make it again. - 4/19/09

     This was very good! The pork was good on its on for leftovers w/o the higher-fat/calorie sauce. The sauce was amazing, I just used less sauce/serving & cooked brown rice. Next time I plan to add chicken broth to make it less thick and freeze the leftover sauce for the next time I make the pork. - 4/8/08

     The sauce was a little thick. We would also use garlic powder instead of garlic salt next time. We also found that we had to triple the rub to get enough on the pork. We love that you can change the salsa and get a whole new flavor out of it! - 4/6/08

     I will be making this often!!! I mixed the sauce right in with brown rice and topped it with grilled veggies marinated in zesty italian dressing. I also added hot sauce to the meat. - 4/3/08
  • LUMIHIUTALE
     Wonderfully complex flavor! I used lots of extra spice mixture and prepared it with brown rice. - 10/6/07

     Yum! Loved it, made it pretty much straight from the recipe, it was easy and very good! - 11/21/08

     I made it with reduced fat peanut butter and used fresh garlic instead of garlic salt. My daughter like the sauce, but my son did not. They both liked the pork. - 10/9/08
  • MYSHARONANY
     I made a couple of tweaks to cut back on some calories and added some additional spcies. . . AMAZING!! Would work with chicken and beef as well. As my husband says, A REAL KEEPER!! - 4/6/08

     My family loved this! We used medium salsa to really add some zing! Totally loved it and will make it again... YUMMY! - 12/29/07
  • PAINTERGRRL73
     Easy to prepare, I actually cooked the pork in the sauce and that made it extra tender. - 4/12/07
  • BKHODGE
     Absolutely loved this dish! Having friends over and will be making this to WOW them. I'm not even a cook and it came out fabulous! Served it over noodles instead of rice. - 4/14/09

     Kids really like the pork but didn't care as much for the sauce. I thought it was a little off somehow too but can't put my finger on exactly what the problem was.

    Next time I'll use the sesame seeds and green onions. Maybe that was the problem. At any rate there will be a next time. Thanks! - 1/24/09

     Completely different than what we normally eat. A nice change! - 11/8/08

     My husband and I enjoyed it, though one of my children wouldn't eat it (the picky one of course) I would have liked even more "heat" to it. To cut down on carbs and calories we used 1/4 cup of brown rice. - 7/9/08
  • LECHARJT
     The meat was wonderful - moist and delicious. The sauce was only okay, and the kids wouldn't eat it. Next time I'll use my own sauce. - 6/17/08
  • SVOONE
     I love spicy and I think the blend of sweet with hot Is just just right for us. - 6/4/08
  • JEN2002
     This was good. At first I thought the flavor combinations were weird, but it turned out pretty well. Plus it cooks up pretty quickly too. - 5/4/08
  • SASSAFRASS23
     Yum-O!!! I just made this tonight and it was delicious. I will definitely make this again. This was so easy to prepare and and yet so tasty! I will teach my friend that doesn't cook much how to make this recipe, because I know he'll love it too! - 4/15/08
  • SIBBY53
     Certainly different...and GOOD! - 4/7/08
  • LATKINSONVARN
     made this with chicken, needed to thin the sauce a little. Big hit, even with the kids, not too spicy. - 4/3/08
  • THISISIT2
     I am not a good cook, but when I served this I became one. My family loves this. - 4/3/08
