    I feel that the cornmeal greatly declined the quality of this recipe. I read other reviews and took the time to make sure the cornmeal created a nice crispy crust but once the other ingredients were added the cornmeal crust began to breakdown. The sauce became grainy. I didn't like the texture one bit but - Read more ...

    My husband was more enthusiastic about this than anything I've made in a long time. I was determined to make the cornmeal work and I believe the solution is to make sure your oil is very hot when you first add the coated meat and not to turn it until there is a good golden - Read more ...

    I had some boneless pork chops in the freezer I needed to use up so I used them in the recipe. I also used 1/4 cup of Corona beer and added a couple of splashes of lime juice. Also I didn't want half a can of black beans sitting in my fridge until the next - Read more ...

    Tried this recipe. Though the idea was great I think it could do without the cornmeal. It made the sauce very mushy and grainy and sloppy looking. If I made this again I would do without the cornmeal and just quickly brown the pork and let it simmer in the sauce. Also the peaches gave - Read more ...

    We've made this many times and love it. We skip the cornmeal use a medium level salsa and season the pork with jerk or creole seasoning before cooking to add a little flavor. It's a great dinner for a change of pace.

    I made this last night for guests and everyone raved! Not being a beer drinker I used low sodium chicken broth instead and used the entire can of black beans. I served this with orzo a green salad and as suggested a nice red wine. Thanks Alex. This is definitely a keeper!

    So easy my husband didn't even screw it up! A taste we weren't expecting but enjoyed on the first bite and more by the last. The first time this was made we used a generic Japanese brand salsa that has no bite (live in Japan). The second time we used an American salsa that gave - Read more ...

    Followed the recipe exactly as stated. Its consistency is like that of a very hearty stew. It was W-O-N-D-E-R-F-U-L!!! Thanks so much for sharing this delicious recipe.

    Since I didn't have pork tenderloin on hand I used pork chops instead and it turned out great. I didn't have beer either so used water as someone else had suggested. I prepared it in a big frying pan with a tight fitting lid to ensure the chops stayed moist and tender. My family loved - Read more ...
