The reviewer gave this recipe 5 stars. This recipe averages a 4.26 star rating.

I did this a tad different. Used it last minute, so didn't have two hours to bake. It did sit in fridge, then I broiled it to cut down on prep time. It was still very moist. I personally didn't like the texture of the spice coating so dipped it in salsa ranch. My picky two year old skipped the dip and ate seconds and thirds and even asked for leftovers the next day! So for that it gets a 5 stars.

This is very tasty. Make sure you cover the dish/pot and its like it becomes steamed in the porks own juices. It gets tender if you cook it for a long time on a low heat. I added a teaspoon of oil, sealed it with a lid and cooked it for 1 hour at 150C-it would be a lot more tender I would say if cooked at 120C for 1.5 to 2 hours. Im definitely making it again!

We really liked this! Since the cooking method is really the key to this dish, it would have been nice to have more complete instructions on what size pan and how to arrange the meat in it. I think most of us assumed to bake it in a shallow dish arranged in one layer. I more than doubled this recipe (btw, you don't need quite twice the rub - had a little too much) and didn't want to use two dishes, so I baked it in my 8-qt dutch oven. I didn't quite have room to single layer and my pork was pretty snug in there. Turned out perfect in 2 hours! For anyone who has trouble with this dish drying out, try shortening the cooking time and/or snuggling your meat cubes closer in the pan. Thanks so much for the recipe!

WE ABSOLUTELY LOVED THIS! I snugged my meat together in a Le Creuset casserole and cooked 2 thick butterflied pork chops (cubed) with the chili mixture. I did add some ground coriander to the mix (I think it compliments cumin so well) and it came out juicy and tender after about an hour. I added no additional oil or liquid, and heavens, no way would I add brown sugar. If the cumin overpowered, maybe they didn't add enough salt or the rest of the ingredients. Thank you for this truly EASY and full of flavor recipe. I can't wait to make it again. - Lisa

I really, really wanted to love this, and think that with some modifications I'll like it a lot better. I made this according to the recipe first, and found the taste of cumin to be overwhelming (and not in a good way - I normally love cumin). I was using just over 2 lbs of pork tenderloin, cut into bite-sized pieces, and I packed them into a 1.5 quart oval cassarole dish - the pork cubes were in 2-3 layers and close together. Because of this, I baked for 1 hour 45 minutes (stirring half-way through) instead of the 2 hours and the pork came out only semi-dry (I baked uncovered since the recipe didn't specify). I'll cut down to 1 hour and 30 minutes next time. I'll also add some brown sugar next time as well as cut down on the cumin. I served this with taco flavored rice and the combo seemed to be a hit. I think this recipe has some great possibilities and am looking forward to personalizing it. Will most definately make again!

We didn't care for this much, I'm sorry to say. It seemed dry, and the chili powder flavor overwhelmed the other seasonings. It did get tender though... I'm willing to give it another try with some adjustments to the spices. Thanks for sharing!

I was pressed for time so I wasn't able to bake it, so I cooked it stove top. It turned out wonderful. The spices were a great mixture. Spicy without being too spicy. My mom even liked it. I was told that I better not lose the recipe!

FANTASTIC! I am not a pork lover, but my husband is and this recipe was AMAZING! My husband thought it was excellent. I took a tip from another review and put oil in the pan I baked in and that helped keep the moisture! Really yummy with rice!

My husband and I couldn't get enough of this! We used curry this time instead of cumin, and are excited to try the cumin version too. Absolutely delicious! Oh, I did cut the bake time to 1.5 hours. Perfect.

Really enjoyed this one - had tons of flavour! The only thing I changed was to cut the recipe in half (only had one tenderloin) and didn't use cilantro (we don't like it at all!). I did add some crushed red pepper flakes and didn't bake quite as long as stated, probably about 1 hr and 20 mins...very moist and tender pork!

This was a superb meat dish. Great complex flavor and tastes very good over white rice. I marinated the meat for two days in the recommended spices, and coated the bottom of the pan with olive oil. As other reviewers have noted, it does not need to cook for 2 hours; I only cooked it for about 1 hour and 20 minutes, and it still came out moist. I will definitely cook this again.

Wonderful! I only used 1/2 tsp cumin. I used a pork loin roast. I also used a bit of oil drizzled over the meat prior to cooking and covered with foil. I only cooked for 1 hr. the meat was PERFECT! very moist and soooo tender.

I doubled up on the spices and added crushed red pepper and fresh pressed garlic. The nice thing about this recipe is it is a dry rub, so I prepared it on a Saturday and vacuum sealed it with the spices until Wed. It was very good--even though I used a little too much red pepper for our kids.

Used extra cilantro, but I chopped more than needed. So easy to make that I told my son to follow the recipe as instructed and my teenaged son made dinner. Made steamed broccoli and rice to go with it and it was fantastic.
