Just eating my first version of this recipe. It is a pleasant devour from ubiquitous Italian meatballs and pasta. Coriander, cumin and oregano gives ground pork a new twist and roasted tomatoes sauce takes it to another level. I live in Europe now, so adobo sauce was replaced with Balcan ajvar pepper sauce plus adobo seasoning. Works very well together. Served it with plain rice for lack of anything more authentic. Next time will opt for polenta, tacos or tortilla to make it taste more Mexican. Good, foolproof recipe to become a new kitchen staple.
