We all loved this, though I used chicken rather than pork.
Oscar Mullins
This was delicious. Tangy spicy and filling. I don’t care for pork chops so I chopped up some pork tenderloin and used that.. served this over whole wheat pasta. I am really not sure if I tasted the cashews in this, but I had a few left from another recipe so I added them
Samantha Shea
Wonderfully different! Cannot wait to surprise someone with this recipe!

I wasn’t sure how this would turn out but it was actually pretty good. The sauce is definitely tangy – I added a wee bit more Worcestershire sauce – and it complements the veggies nicely. It might be good with a few mushrooms as well, and I think it would work with chicken too. Anyway, nice recipe. Thanks, Dannii!

I thought this was quite good, but the texture wasn’t especially to my liking. I think if I made it again I’d omit the cashews, and use canned chopped tomatoes to cut down on the prep time a bit. My husband really liked it though, and thinks the cashews should stay.

At first, while I was making this recipe I had my doubts about it, but it actually turned out pretty good. My husband really liked at, but I would give it 4 stars for time to prepare and overall taste. Probebly not something I will make again.

Dan, this recipe was not only delicious, but creative too. My boyfriend and I were both very pleased with this wonderful dish! I only changed the ingredients a tiny bit. I only had yellow peppers to use, instead of the green. Since I had no white wine handy, I had to use some vermouth. I also added a Tblsp. of sliced black olives because I wanted to use them up. They actually added a bit of extra color to the dish too. Before browning my chops, I seasoned them with premixed Italian spices. The end result was a delicious meal. I served this over a bed of tricolored pasta and sprinkled fresh minced parsley over the whole dish. Thanks for a wonderful recipe Dan!
