Wow Delicious! I have been amazed with your recipes. I was afraid the Cumin was going to be overpowering 2 tsp seemed alot and cumin can be tangy to the tongue, but the lemon settled that down really well. I marinated my meat, well over 24 hours so it was nice n tasty and tender. This was the perfect Sunday meal with baked potatoes and a salad. I used some Portuguese Pimento Sauce which gave it a little red color and a tang of spiciness. Excellent and I will make it again. Made for Everyday is a Holiday Tag Game.

This was a good, easy, hearty meal. I added paprika to the pork while it was cooking, and we really enjoyed the extra flavor that it added. This took much less than the 30 minutes stated for the pork to cook through, so check it often to avoid overcooking. I served this over rice, which was really nice for soaking up the extra sauce. I may thicken the sauce next time, after removing the pork from the skillet, to give it a more gravy-like texture. Thanks for posting a very yummy recipe!

I don't think I'd call this a stew bu no matter what it's called it's utterly delicious. I think I chopped the onion too fine because it pretty much dissolved in the cooking and I just plain forgot the olives. Even so the flavor is deep and rich and the pork is very tender. It's very easy also. I made the marinade, put it in a bag with the pork and left it in the fridge for about 8 hrs and the skillet time is a simple process. To sum it up in one word: Yummm.
