This was very good. The flavors are excellent. I used a pork loin and baked it for 3 hours....it shredded up but that's ok because it worked well over elbows and was really terrific.

Excellent! I used pork tenderloin about 3 pounds ,did it on top of the stove and should have reduced the time to only three hours/ three and a half because the meat fell apart and those that ate it would have prefered it to have held together more. NO COMPLAINTS on the flavor it was GREAT!!!!!

VERY good! Very different from anything I've had before. Made this in the crockpot with a 2 pound pork tenderloin. I used the full amount of tomatoes, 1/2 can tomato paste, 1 cup chicken broth, LOTS of extra garlic and I threw in a bay leaf. Unfortunately, I didn't have a red pepper (not even the jarred kind) so I went without it and still thought it was EXCELLENT! I added extra capers, and also used kalamata's as my black olive choice. Served this over spaghetti and we LOVED it!! My mom even joked that she liked it so much she actually forgot to finish her glass of wine!! Now that's a rarity!! HA! My husband rated this a 4, my mom gave it a 10 and I gave it a 4.75. Easily rounds to a 5 and is something I will make again and again. There was no need to even pre-brown the meat. I took the tenderloins out and sliced them up and put them back in the sauce about 45 minutes before I served them. Added shredded parm on top - just lovely!!!! Thank you for such a tasty meal!
