This dish was a bit too salty for my taste. I think I would reduce the amount of salt in the recipe next time. Otherwise, it was a good dish.

I'm not a big fan of pork, but this dish was surprisingly good. The sauce was flavorful and the orzo was cooked perfectly. I would definitely make this again, but I might try it with chicken next time.
