Sauce was delicious. Used bone in chops. Seared them for less time then put in a warm oven for the time it took to make the sauce. Very good.
I added on onion and som frozen peas. Great, flexible recipe
I removed the chops before they were browned. The smothered them in the sauce, flipping until they were cooked. Tasty.
Double the sauce. You'll be glad you did. Delicious on rice.
