  My family love this delicious recipe. It's quick and easy, using store cupboard ingredients which is just perfect. Be warned though you may need to have all your windows open when cooking this as my griddle pan smokes loads when I pour in the marinade!! It's worth it though!

  Fantastic! Easy to make, lovely moist pork. Great for a quick mid week meal or for something special. Will definitely be making this again.

  This was so quick to make an had a really delicious taste. The kitchen did get a bit smokey though! Instead of pouring the marinade & juices over the pork, I stirred them into the pasta and then served the pork on top. Will definitely be making this again soon!

  Instead of the olives (as my boyfriend dosent like them) I substitued finely chopped red onion and some chopped tomatoes, and allowed them to reduce slightly. I also added some dried mixed herbs as well. It was divine.

  Ok, but both times the pork has been a bit tough for my liking (even though I use nice butcher's pork which is good in other recipes). Perhaps a longer gentler cooking?

  Opened my pork to discover that it wasn't the best quality loin that I have seen however I continued on with the recipe and despite that it was a good dish. So if you have a poor quality cut try this anyway. I didn't cook with the olives or the basil, but served a side salad (not too much vinegar if you are going to make your own dressing for this) and new potatoes with parmesan. Followed with fruit salad and mascarpone.

  Had these for lunch. Really lovely with rice and vegtables. Only downside we didn't have enough marinade for a source. Olives cooked were amazing and the pork was beautiful tender. Left this to marinade for two days due to having lost griddle. Worked fine in the frying pan though.

  tasted good and I was surprised at how tender the pork was - normally i avoid pork unless its done in my slow cooker. But this method was ace - will use again and try with different marinades

  My husband and I have made this recipe several times since it first appearred in the magazine. We absolutely love it because it is so tasty and quick to prepare and cook. We often add either red onions, sweet red peppers or mushrooms in addition or as a substitution to the olives although I much prefer the olives to be present. Its one of those meals that soon become a firm family favourite!

  Tasted gorgeous but did set fire alarm off. Kids usually turn their noses up at pork, but scoffed every bit of this. Definitely do again, as it was so nice.
