This recipe was a disaster! The meat was dry and overcooked, and the sauce was too salty. I would not recommend this recipe to anyone.

The meat was a bit tough, but the sauce was delicious. I think I might try cooking it for a longer period of time next time.

This recipe was a bit bland for my taste. I think I would add more herbs and spices next time.
