    A very easy and tasty recipe. However I had thin chops and so felt 25 minutes was too long and next time would put the cabbage and onions in for 10 minutes and then added to meat. I served it with mashed potato so a bit of sauce would have been good too. A good mid week meal.

    Lovely and quick midweek meal. I agree that the cabbage could have done with an extra 5-10 minutes. A lovely way to serve red cabbage, even the children (4 and 8) ate it!

    I agree with the other comments, the pork was a little dry, possibly because it was cooked too long - I would probably add some balsamic vinegar next time as well to make it a bit juicier.

    Delicious! Following the other posters' advice, I cooked the cabbage, onion with vinegar mix in a covered pan for 10 mins on the hob before baking it all in the oven. Would def. recommend pork shoulder rather than chops - there's a bit more fat marbling through the meat that makes it tender rather than dry.

    The pork was okay but I reeally wasn't impressed with the cabbage, it was still hard and quite bitter. I'd say if you make this definitely cook the veg on the hob for 20 minutes or so before hand. Also found the coriander pretty strong.

    Bland pork and odd tasting red cabbage. Ended up separating the two and cooking how i usually would, saved the meal but wont be making it again.
