friederike from Berlin,
5 stars, no doubt. It's a very easy dish, but produces excellent results. The meat is juicy, the flavours interesting yet balanced. The only thing I might change next time is that I might cut back the amount of orange zest a bit. A very christmassy dish, if that's your association with oranges and spices.
We served this with wild rice and grilled aubergines and courgettes with Harissa and some leftover lime yoghurt from the Cauliflower and Cumin Fritters with Lime Yoghurt - very delicious, though the Harissa just might be too strong. However, the dish didn't taste as Middle Eastern as I had expected with all the spices. Instead, I would recommend some baguette and a chicory salad to go with the dominating flavour of oranges.

I adore this recipe. Cardamom and ginger are two of my favorite things, combined with pork and apricots is just heavenly. The recipe is not difficult, and the ingredients are items I usually have on hand (a few might be slightly uncommon for some people, such as tumeric) .
I'm good with the spiciness of 1/4 teaspoon Cayenne, but it's a little much for my spice-intolerant husband--so in the future I might cut it down or make him deal with it.
