We all really enjoyed this meal. I made a couple changes - not major. I used a can of diced tomatoes-not exactly great tomatoes this time of year- and I used sour cream in favor of yogurt.Also added a bit extra paprika.I think next time I'll serve it with rice though.(had it with egg dumpling noodles) Then that great sauce will get soaked up nicely. Thanks!

This is an awesome recipe. I found it a while back on the web and have made it a few times now. The only thing I do differently is use sour cream instead of yogurt (makes it a bit less healthy but 10x more tasty). I've also made it with a 1lb pork roast (cut up into 5 big pieces) without any changes. Thanks for sharing!

I followed this recipe to the letter the first time around and it was delicious. I cook for my parents and as they have gotten older they prefer milder food. This dish offered them flavor without causing discomfort. I made this dish again for my husband and I and tweaked it a little. I added more garlic (about 7 cloves sauteed 1/2 and other half added about 10 minutes before meal was done) and tripled the paprika. I sauteed 3/4 of the onions and then added the last quarter at the end so that there was the some crunch. I also added in some fingerling potatoes. I boiled them first till they were semi soft and then added them to the meat and sauce. Since I added the potatoes I did not serve this dish over noodles but served it with a side of brown rice and a salad of tomatoes, red onions, and baby spinach with a lime and olive oil dressing. Very very happy with this recipe its easy, fast and delicious. Thank you very much Honni

This is so easy to make. The pork was very tender and the chilli left a warm taste.I served with steamed rice and baby spinach. A very warming meal on a cold night.

This made a delicious dinner for us tonight. I was afraid it would burn while simmering, so added some extra water, which made the dish more soupy than intended, I think. Even so, it was pleasantly saucy and very nice on rice. Next time I'll cook it in my cast iron stew pot. Thank you very much for sharing this recipe.
