The pork came out very tender and flavorful without being overpowering. I made it with Mango salsa and basmati rice. My family and company all rated it 5 stars. I will definitely make it again with no changes. If you are short on time, I think it would be fine to skip the mango salsa. I cooked it for 12 minutes with a grill temperature varying between 350-425deg F.
