    This was lovely, added a little paprika for an extra kick and it was perfect for a cold december night in with my flatmates - there was plenty to go round! Will definitely be making it again.

    This recipe is lovely & a definate must on a cold winter night. Very easy to make & the tastes are delicious, I omitted the peppers (Cos I don't like them) and added chilli beans instead. A winner with the family. Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

    Thought this was yummy! I dolloped some low-fat yoghurt over it, helped thicken the sauce. Make sure you have nice crusty bread to mop it up with!

    Very tasty. I add a tsp of smoked paprika and missed out the green beans as I served with green veg.

    What a fabulous Monday treat using up what was left of the Sunday Pork Joint. Served on a bed of rice this was a lovely warming dish for a winter's evening and so much better use of the leftover pork than feeding it to the dog, particularly in these challenging economic times.

    Cooked this at my sister & brother-in-law's - they didn't have any chilli flakes, so used cayenne pepper instead. Was still lovely & served with cous cous.

    I'm a veggie so substituted 350g pack of quorn pieces for the pork and used 600ml veg stock instead of 400ml chicken (quorn soaks up a lot more liquid than pork). I also followed Jo's advice and used a large can of kidney beans instead of green beans. This has now become a firm favourite - easy, warming comfort food at it's best... love that chilli kick... and yes, it definitely calls for some nice crusty bread!

    This was an absoulte winner. I added chiorzo and put in some broad beans from the garden. I didnt have any chilli flakes so i used some drops of tabasco sauce. I will definatly be doing this dish again, maybe next time with chicken pieces.

    We eat this on a regular basis, its brilliant for just me and my husband for an easy mid-week meal, we often have it just on its own as it is filling enough with the potatoes in it. I have also done it on mass for a large group and it was perfect as it was so easy to make in bulk. Last time i added some leftover bacon which was very yummy.

    Enjoyed this. Potatoes needed a bit longer to cook and will probably try it with chicken next time but overall we liked it.

    This had a lovely flavour but I must have used the wrong sort of pork (I bought diced pork from the supermarket) because it was tough as old boots and probably needed to cook for a good hour longer for it to become tender. Next time I'd use chicken I think.

    Used pork tenderloin, bit extravagant, but delicious, and no waste. I coated each piece in seasoned flour and the sauce was lovely and thick. Abolutely delicious

    Nice winter evening dish. Used 3 smallish "old" potatoes which I peeled, cubed and parboiled before adding to dish. Next time will add bit more spice tho to give it a kick.
