Pork tasted fabulous with the marinade. I would not recommend the utilizing the marinade after it has been over the meat. Just use the remaining 1/3 of the salsa for additional flavor to meat.

very nice. I didn't have cardomom pods on hand and used ground cardomom which I do have....had to guess at the amount and used 1/4 tsp. I didn';t want spicy ot overpower the delicate cardomom and mango flavor so I only used 1/8 tsp of red pepper....but that is personal taste. You can add more or less to suit your own heat taste. This makes a lot of leftovers...either cut the sauce in half or use it on something else later. As another posted noted....it is good on chicken to use the leftovers! For those that like the spice on the milder side I have also made without the jalepeno and that was excellent too.

These were delicious!! I used a pork butt steak instead of the chops and marinated it overnight, turning every 8 hours or so. I also omitted the cayenne from the salsa and didn't have cardamom, but honestly we thought the salsa was delicious without it! I baked the steak in the marinade at 350, turning it once every 20 minutes for about 50-60 minutes, just until it was done (covered for the first 40, then uncovered for the remaining time). We will definitely have this again!

I used this recipe with salmon instead of pork and it was awesome! The salsa was delicious, but I would cut those ingredients in half as there was a lot left over.

These are really great for outdoor grilling, as well. We loved them. I add half the sugar to the sauce, because I find it too sweet. I also add half a cup of chopped red onion. Preferring fresh cilantro, I wait until the sauce has cooled to add it.

These are really, really good! Especially when you're looking for something a bit different to spice up the menu. On weeknights when we want something quick, we do the marinade without the sauce - that really speeds it up because you can cook the sauce and chops at the same time and don't have to refrigerate/reheat the sauce. Thanks for the great recipe!

I have made this twice and it was a hit. It made the pork chops so flavorful!! It is time consuming, but worth the effort. We used leftovers on chicken and it was just as good. I didn't have a mango on hand and used fresh peaches instead. I also didn't have cardamom seeds - just omitted it. Highly recommended if you like flavorful food!
