This recipe is a keeper! I made up the marinade and sauce last night, so when I got home from work, all I had to do was heat up the sauce and put the pork chops on the grill. All 3 of us gave it 5 stars. Thanks for this great recipe, Rita!

Very nice pork recipe Rita, not spicy at all for our tastes - just nice and mild. The sauce was the real star, I cut the recipe in 4 for the two of us and used low fat mayo and Chinese BBQ sauce (not char sui sauce). Extremely quick and easy to do if you do everything the night before - perfect for a busy week night! I'm having the leftovers today in a pita wrap...yum! Thanks for sharing.

Nice marinade - I like spicy food but I reduced the cayanne pepper to just half a teaspoon and it was still very spicy. Taste of curry was very strong, I might want to reduce that down a bit too, to get the garlic and lemon to show up a bit more.
