  Made this for a weeknight meal. The pork was really nice, I loved the marinade, but there were just too many chick peas! I shall probably do the pork again, but find a different salad to accompany it!

  I made this the other night for dinner. It was quick and delicious - really fresh and summery - although I am a fan of zesty flavours so had doubled the lemon. Couldn't agree less with the comment above - to feed four heartily I also had to double the chickpeas, salad and onions. A nice recipe though, and an interesting method that could be adapted to suit all kinds of meats and flavours.

  I made this for the 2nd time last night. For two people I did 2 pork steaks and 1 tin of chickpeas but left the rest of the ingredients the same and it was lovely, agree with gemmarama very fresh and summery.

  Made this just for myself. Really loved the fresh taste but I added some cumin seeds to the marinade and freshly shopped mint through the salad leaves. The mint makes it taste more like summer!

  Made this for 2, halved everything except marinade which was fine. Quite garlicy though and will halve this next time. Added mange tout to the chick peas which was good because they added a crunch to the final dish as the salad wilts slightly.

  really nice dish and very easy. Sprinkled some sichuan pepper on the pork with seasoning for the marinade and added two red birdseye chillis with the red onion - made it fresh and zingy tasting! Will definitely add this to mid-week meals repertoire

  This was fine for a healthy, quick tea but didn't blow us away. I have to agree with the first poster and there were way too many chickpeas! I really like chickpeas, but had to give up and leave some on my plate... the pork marinade was yummy though.

  Made this last time with chicken breasts. Tonight with pork steaks...hope it is just as good. I also only make it for two, and halve the chick peas and meat, but keep everything else the same. Would be too many chick peas for me, but I probably only have about 0.4 of the tin and give OH the rest. He hasn't complained, and has couscous with his as well!

  I sliced the pork steak so I had 2 thinner steaks, rather than 1, just personal preference. I also substituted the chickpeas for haricot. Absolutely loved.

  | think this dish has so much potential, but I have to say that the rosemary and lemon were slightly lost and I would be very rosemary heavy in the future.

  I made this tonight just for myself - it's very nice indeed. I split the pork steak down the middle to make it thinner, so the flavour of the marinade was absorbed a bit more, and I used a whole lemon because I like sharp citrus. I also put a bit of paprika on the pork before frying.

  the pork itself was wonderful, full of flavour easy marinade lovely and earthy and quick, the salad on the other hand seriously lacking and the chickpeas did nothing for me at all, would do again but with a different side dish otherwise worth a try
