    I love this. I made it for two so used half the pork but kept the other quantities the same so we could have a whole pear each! I took advice from previous comments and did mine in the oven and it was perfect. Will definitely make this again.

    A very good recipe. I modified it slightly by deglazing the pan with some stock after plating-up the meat and onions, and then adding some soured cream and fresh parsley. It made a lovely sauce that went well with mash potatoes and green beans.
