Tomatoed Pork Recipe Reviews - Allrecipes.com (Pg. 1)
Reviewed: Mar. 2, 2013
Not bad! Both my hubs and I really enjoyed this, although the heat factor was a bit of an issue for me.... I like spicy food, but this was WICKED spicy lol! NOTE TO SELF: ONLY USE 1 JALAPENO NEXT TIME (or remove the seeds from one of them to cut some of the spice)!!!!! I usually follow the submitter's cooking / preparation directions to the letter (unless they seem contradictory, erroneous or I feel I can improve or streamline the process), but will often times make ingredient substitutions to suit my tastes. This time, not only did I make a few personal adjustments, I also altered the cooking method - and I wish I wouldn't have.... :( As wifeyluvs2cook did, I simmered my pork (to tenderize it) before proceeding with the recipe as directed. I'm not sure where I went wrong, but my pork ended up VERY tough. I am a fan of wifey's recipes and her cooking style, but this time her advice didn't work for me. I STRONGLY suggest that you follow Amy's directions, at least initially. You can always make changes next time. Having said this, wifey's suggestion to add a pinch of garlic powder / oregano was spot on (both added great flavor, IMHO). her suggestion to substitute fresh tomatoes, tomato sauce and water also worked well, so if you don't have canned tomatoes, don't sweat it. Steamed rice, refried beans and corn tortillas completed our meal. Thanks for sharing your recipe, Amy! I can't wait to make this again, albeit after my mouth cools off a bit haha! :-)

Love this recipe!!! Everytime I make this recipe the pork always comes out so tender and flavorful! I always make this with your Mexican Fideo recipe. Thanks again for sharing!

Pretty good! Could use a bit more flavor, either from salt, lard, knorr (I know....) or maybe more garlic...idk. That is my opinion though. The kids and hubby LOVED it and didn't have any negative comments!

Amazing dish! I did what another poster said and pretty much boiled the pork rather than fry it. Then continued the recipe as normal. The way I serve it is different. Instead of over rice or anything, I love it wrapped in a tortilla with cheese and sour cream.

The house smells wonderful because I made this in the crock pot today. I made this pretty much to recipe but without the mushrooms and my husband really loved it. We had it in tortillas with sour cream, cheese, guacomole lettuce. Good recipe Amy_S.

Made this with pork tenderloin and serrano chilis as that's what I had on hand. Tweaked the seasonings a little and simmered for about an hour until the meat was melt-in-the-mouth tender. Turned out great - very hearty and flavorful. Thanks!
