The two reasons I gave this recipe 4 out of 5 stars is because of the following:
1. It takes quite a bit of work to prepare.
2. The flavor is somewhere between boring and delicious. ( so, I guess, just tasty enough to justify cooking it )
To clarify, the recipe tastes great and I intend to cook it again, I just feel the work put in isn't worth the payoff. I will say the recipe when followed to a T will produce the perfectly moist and complete pork chops, which I enthusiastically applaud.
The recipe does NOT make super spicy pork chops, which is a good thing! My grandmother has issues with spicy foods, and she enjoyed them fully!
Personally I've always had a problem with pork chops simply because of how over-done and dry people tend to cook them! These porch chops were moist and evenly cooked.
It uses a decent amount of Sherry wine, and this wine can be expensive. What you do use is put to good use, however.
I suggest making this meal for a small family of people you know, and not necessarially for a visiting date, or a holiday event. I will use this recipe again in the future, and desperately find something else to zest the meal up...maybe limes. This recipe has amazing potential and is on a razor-thin line of being amazing. Thank you for this treat of a meal.
