    I was a little skeptical about the long cooking time, but it was worth it! The rice was perfectly cooked, and the pork was fall-apart tender.

  • Drew Zboncak

    I added a jalapeno for extra heat, and it was delicious! Thanks for sharing this recipe.

  • Doris Corkery

    The rice was a bit mushy, next time I will reduce the water by 1/2 cup.

  • Salvatore Boyle

    I used pork shoulder instead of pork loin and it turned out great. I cooked it for 7 hours.

  • Nels Von

    This recipe is amazing! The pork was so tender and flavorful. I will definitely make this again.

  • Darien Abshire

    Easy to follow recipe with great results. I seared the pork first and it added a nice depth of flavor.

  • Lorena Cummings

    My family loved this! It's a great way to use up leftover salsa verde.
