    This dish is quick and easy to make and tastes delicious. The second time I made it I left the pork to marinade for a couple of hours and it was even better.

    I marinaded pork overnight and so. I added onions to puree-because my husband hates baked onion`s wedges . Very tasty!

    I made this pretty much as per the instructions but left the pork in the coating for around 3 hours, it came out really well but slightly spicier than anticipated (but that was a bonus). Probably needs some kind of jus / sauce and perhaps some extra veg to make a decent meal to serve more than 2 people but I enjoyed it and will try it again. Preserved lemons seem to come in a range of sizes so I wasn't sure how many to actually put in as mine were quite small, I went with two, it didn't seem to have a negative effect.

    Delicious! I added some quartered tomatoes to the fennel/onion mix which added a little more juice. Served with crusty bread and green Very easy and definitely one for the regular list.

    I made this first for my fiancé and he really enjoyed it. Just the right balance of sweet and spicy. I have also made it using chicken for myself as I don't eat pork. It was just as nice! I didn't use preserved lemon either time, just lemon juice, and both times I marinated the meat for a few hours.

    I have made this a few times since it is so tasty. I couldn't get any fennel on one occasion, so added red peppers and chestnut mushrooms instead - just as good.
