  For quite a bit of effort this does not pack the promised punch. Needed something else, anyone have any suggestions?

  I substituted the pork with the legs, thighs and breasts of a free range chicken - this worked really well. I don't like parsley, so used chopped coriander leaves instead. I didn't have any sherry vinegar so used 2 tablespoons of red wine vinegar and a tablespoon of sherry. Everyone who tried this dish thoroughly enjoyed it and it is one I will use again.

  The family enjoyed this dish although I used coriander instead of parsley (as Susan 666 said) and lime instead of lemon. Definitely a winner.

  I made this with belly of pork - bought it in one piece to take the skin off and roast seperately to serve as crackling The lemon crumb top really "made" the dish for me I served it with creamy mash and green veg yum!

  This was delicious, but needed a lot more liquid than stated, I added 500ml veggie stock and used a spicy chorizo. Served it with shallot mash and green veggies.

  I made this for a family party. Adults and children all loved it - which is rare in my family!! I increased the quantity of fennel and added some sherry.

  Love this recipe! It has become one of my favourites in the last couple of years. Always met with approval from whoever I cook it for. Extremely tasty and dead easy. I don't bother with the lemon and herb crust anymore, I don't think it needs it!

  left out the fennel as my lot don't like the anniseedy flavour. It was just as tasty.

  A really tasty, easy recipe that has become a real favourite with everyone who's tried it. I've made it for all kinds of occasions, from family suppers to dinner parties, and someone has always asked for the recipe! Can't believe such a sijple recipe has so much wow factor.

  Has become a family favourite over the past couple of years. I add chopped peppers as well to mine for some extra veg. Don't always bother with the breadcrumbs but they definately add something to the meal. Tend to serve with spicy rice.

  I added chopped red jalapeños to add a bit of a kick as we also felt the dish lacked something. Next time I may try adding some chopped red chilli to the lemon breadcrumbs. Served with the suggested peas with greens and a creamy mash- delicious.
