I followed the recipe but cut boneless pork into cubes and grilled it on skewers. It marinated for about 6 or 7 hours and was nice and tender after 12 minutes or so on the grill but a bit too tomatoey for us. I'll use this as a starting off point, though, and try a bit more acid next time. All in all a good recipe, thanks!

This pork is fantastic! I used nice, thick, boneless pork loin chops and grilled them on the indoor grill. I let them rest for about 10 minutes and sliced them on the diagonal. We served the very tender pork with soba noodles mixed with celery, carrots, onions and asparagus. So good!!! Made for Went To The Market tag game. Thanks NorthwestGal! :)

This site used to be awesome. It was at the top of its game when it was called Recipezaar, but that was many years ago. The site was purchased by Scripps and belly-flopped into mediocrity. A few of the faithful members remained, hoping to wait out the storm of corporate nonsense. But alas, it never got better and just continued on its terminal path to nothingness. So most of the loyal members have vanished and made homes at better recipe sites.
