  We cooked this for an informal dinner with a friend, halving the quantities to feed 3 people and it was delicious. The pork was so tender and the spices combined really well. Yougurt on the side was fantastic. Didn't have any cumin so used mild chili powder. Also instead of serving with couscous, I teamed the pork with simple boiled new potatoes, a tomato salad and some roast veg. No leftovers!

  Great, easy, tasty dish. I bought lemon couscous and added sultanas and bought Tzaziki - cheated a little but the pork was lovely!! Served with sugar snap peas. A good combination of flavours - will do again.

  Delicious - only thing I did different was leave out the sultanas (not a fan!) and served it with broccoli.

  this is one of the best pork I've eaten. I cook this quite often. Some don't like the cinnamon but you can't really taste it. Really nice dish. The soy sauce make the meat really nice and tender. My friends also love this dish!! delicious! will be making today again.

  I notice someone says the soy sauce makes the meat moist but there is no mention of soy sauce in ingredients list or method??

  Simply delicious. I wasn't to sure at first if there would be enough on our plates to fill us up but it was fine. A very easy dish to do and will definitely be added to my regular dishes.

  good flavours on the pork but would make couscous with chicken stock instead of water next time. I also like cranberries through it instead of raisins.
