    Made this tonight. The pesto needs something. Perhaps it calls for too much lime as it is a bit more limey than preferred. My advice, start with adding a little of the lime juice, then adjust according to taste. The lime waters down the pesto a bit.

    I have not made this yet but I am reading the recipe. It does not tell me to marinate or season the pork. Do I marinate the pork in the pesto? Do I season the pork at all? Thank you

    (I ranked this dish a 5 - even though I have not made it yet - because its average was a 5 and I did not want to hurt its rating

    I made this with my husband last week, and we fell in love! The pesto is delicious, and would make an excellent salsa with some tomatillo and avocado thrown in to any leftover. The proportions are mostly great. My one recommendation would be to salt and pepper the pork nicely, but don't over season it (that is, don't use a meat rub or anything like that, or it will take away from the general awesomeness of the pesto. The rice needed quite a bit more chicken stock than called for, so I adjusted as I went.

    I made this last week and it was so good. We had two meals out of it. It was great as a left over too. The pesto really has a great flavor. I think it would be good on other meats as well.

    This is sooooo delicious! I added a bit more garlic to the rice and the pesto. I also used Olive Oil in the pesto- wasn't sure if the recipe was calling for Canola Oil or not so I just added Olive Oil. I also used pork chops that were not too thick so I only cooked them for about 20 minutes in the oven. I also added one 8 oz can of tomato sauce to the rice and a little bit of cumin and cayenne. Great Recipe!!

    I found the recipe for a dinner given as a farewell to a couple moving to Tyler, Texas. Everyone raved about the pesto, and the rice.
    I also took the recipe to Belgium with me and everyone there loved it. The pesto is outstanding and really adds to the pork tenderloin. I used Mrs. Knorr's Chicken Bouillon cubes instead of the chicken stock and that made the rice very flavorful. This recipe is a real keeper.

    I was really a little concerned about what the rice would be like -- it seemed to simple to be tasty. However, it turned out light and fluffy and very tasty, especially after adding a little pesto to it. I added a little cajun seasoning to the pork tenderloin. I highly recommend this recipe.
