My husband and I both thought this was absolutely delicious. I made it as written, except that I skimped on the chili powder (used about 1 1/2 tsp. instead of 2) and only a pinch of red pepper flakes. The heat was just right for us. I had thought about putting in some garlic as some of the reviews mentioned, but forgot to add it with the onions--and honestly, I wonder if garlic might not be too overpowering. This sauce is all about the sweetness and flavor of the onions. Can't wait to make it again!

My husband loved this recipe and said the chops were tender, which seems to always be a problem for me unless I put them in a slow cooker. I haven't tried them myself but will try the leftovers. I too left out the fennel and water and used a can of diced tomatoes and added garlic.

This recipe was delicious! Flavor combinations were great! Loved the little kick of spice! I did two things different - I added 1 clove of chopped garlic to onions, and I only lightly crushed the fennel seeds in order to hold back some of the flavor. I will definitely make this again!!!

This was very good! I substituted fresh tomatoes,fresh oregano,basil,chives and garlic. Also added lots more water so the chops could braise. Very tender.

My fiance and I both enjoyed these chops. I seasoned the chops first and then browned them. Thanks for the enjoyable recipe!

I was hoping for a little more uummpff. To make this spicier i added some hot sauce. I also added garlic. My son I both ate it and it was okay, but probably not something that I will make again.

My only changes for this recipe was to only use 1/4 tsp. of the red pepper flakes and add a crushed garlic clove. The sauce thickened up a little too much so I added 1/4 cup of chicken broth near the end to make sure it had enough moisture to simmer. Taste was good!

I really liked this recipe, my kids liked it too. I halved the chili powder as suggested in other reviews. I really liked the fennel seed flavor. It really added a nice touch. We served over brown rice and it was great. Thanks!

This was very tasty, I left out the fennel because I didn't have any but I think next time I would use the diced tomatoes and a little less chili powder for my daughter and then the sauce would be great over rice or noodles. I served it with rice and green beans. My chops were about an inch thick and came out very juicy. I almost forgot, I also coated the chops in flour and seasoning salt before I fried them, personal preferrence

This was good and very tasty. I would leave out or reduce the fennel seed next time, since it can tend to be overpowering. I overcooked the pork chops, but they still turned out pretty good after semi-braising in the cooking liquid. I used a can of diced tomatoes and no water instead of the tomato sauce. Served with Pasta Roni's parmesan angel hair and green beans. Great, fast weeknight meal.

Served with a side of rotini. Added a can of fire-roasted tomatoes for extra sauce. Some strange flavors going on. It was okay, but I wouldn't cook it again.

This recipe was good. My only issue was that the meat was a little dry but I figure that is probably human error rather than any problem with the recipe. I served it with brown rice, complemented well.

This recipe was awesome although next time I will make the following tweaks: - Triple the amount of sugar - Use 1 tsp instead of 2 of Chili Powder - Cut out the red pepper My husband and I are big fans of spicy food, but this was so hot, we could barely get it down! We can't wait to try it without the overbearing spice, I bet it will be awesome!

If you like black licorice then you might like this dish because that is exactly what crushed fennel seeds smell and taste like. The sauce had very little immediate taste and too strong of an after taste.

I thought it was great. I didn't use fennel because I didn't have any, and used Italian style stewed tomatoes with oregano and basil. I also would cut down on the red pepper because it was VERY SPICY! I love it, it was overwhelming at times. Great, easy dish!

I cooked this recipe exactly as written, and it was great. If you drop ingredients, like the fennel, you do not have the same recipe anymore. I would suggest that you try the recipe just like it is, then alter it the next time if you need to. My whole family liked this one, even my picky 11 year old. Use fresh meat and it wont turn out dry, unless you cook it too long.

This recipe was good. I am not a big pork fan, and I did find the meat a little tough. The flavor was delicious though. We actually added 5 cloves of garlic (we love garlic), and used canned tomato's instead of tomato sauce. I would certainly recommend that change if you are going to try this recipe. We also omitted the water, as the canned tomato's contained enough. Overall, a tasty dish, I think I will try it with Chicken next time... mmmmmmm

This recipe was yummy. I served it over basmati rice and my husband loved it! I too left out the fennel (neither one of us like it), and used stewed tomatoes instead of sauce. I seasoned the chops prior to cooking and left everything else exactly as the recipe said. It will be on my new menu rotation! I would like to add that if the pork is tough, it was probably frozen prior to cooking. Freezing meat denatures the protein of the meat and makes it tough. I suggest that for the most tender and flavorful dishes, use fresh meat. This is especially true for steaks, roasts, chicken breasts and chops (solid cuts of meat).
