This recipe is a KEEPER! Very delicious and easy. My picky husband even loved it and asked for more! I will absolutely be making this again.

In fact, this is our favourite recipe ever. I serve this on special occasions. Loved by all. I make it with Chicken and double the sauce otherwise everything else is as written. Served with green salad, baguette, avocado and hummus... great combination.

I have made this recipe several times and it is a huge hit with my family. I am Greek and we all enjoyed the wonderful aroma of this dish. I did of course change the recipe a bit. First I tenderized the meat real good then I made a marinade using wine, lemon juice, EVOO ( extra virgin olive oil),rosemary and cut up pitted kalamata olives. I let the meat soak in this for about 1/2 hour. I then follow the rest of the recipe according to how it is written. The difference is incredible as far as taste. When cooking meat, it isn't just the taste but the wonderful aroma the accompanies the dish. I served the meat with red greek style potatoes and greek style green beans with feta and regular kalamata olives as an appetizer. This dish is favmassio! OPA!

This was pretty good, I add cornstarch to the sauce just to thicken it.

This was more like 3 and a half stars. I thought it was too lemony. Other than that, it was good. I'll try it again with maybe half the zest.

Wow this was a simply SUPERB recipe. Me and my mom cooked it up for a nice dinner with some guests and everyone loved it and complimented on it! Totally authentic, it tasted exactly what like what i ate in Greece. Thanks for the recipe!

I gave this a 4 because my husband thought it was a 5 and I thought it was a 3. It was too salty for me (and I love salt!) and the sauce took forever to reduce. The meat was tender and the flavor was good if you could dial down the salt. I will try it again with a few revisions.

This is one of the best dishes I've ever made. It's quick, simple and looks gourmet and like it took all day to create. I make it exactly as the recipe says and it's perfect!

I decided to try this out and see if it was worthy of Christmas dinner. Honestly, it was one of the best meals I have ever had. Ever. I followed the recipe exactly. I made mashed potatoes for a quick side dish and the sauce was even good on the potatoes. I will definitely be serving this to my Christmas party. Thanks a heap for this awesome recipe! (ps—it took me all of 10 minutes to make)

Not really what I expected...flavor just wasn't what we really like...but still enjoyed trying out and think this is a really great idea...may try again with a few changes...not sure what that would be yet but will keep an eye on the reviews and see what others are doing.

We love this--it is one of our family favorites. Very bold flavors that blend well with a simple pasta dish (i.e. linguini tossed with olive oil and herb mix) and salad. We love it, and our guests always do, too!

This was a delicious pork recipe, and turned out a lot better than I expected. I love the flavor of kalamata olives, which is a must if you make this recipe. One word of advice, however. The recipe says to brown the pork then let sit on a plate. For some reason, I assumed you just brown the outside and it would all cook thoroughly later. I was wrong. You must cook the pork thoroughly when it is in the pan. Probably a blonde moment on my part, but if you are reading the recipe, understand it must be cooked during the begining.

Sorry, but I hated this recipe (and I love olives). The best thing I can say about this recipe is the meat was tender. I could think of many other delicious things to do with pork tenderloin. I will not be making this again.

This dish would be excellent for guests. However, I used one tenderloin for Paul and I, so it is best to yeild one tenderloin for every two people.

I made this and it was excellent. Had one small change though - I marinated the pork in the chicken broth, wine, olives, garlic and rosemary first. Then, prepared exactly as written. What a difference - great flavor. Yum!
