  1. Excellent flavor! I seared the chops, then transferred them to a baking dish, put the salsa on top of them and roasted for 10 minutes as directed. I didn't use any olive oil in the salsa. I didn't have any chilies, so I pureed some jalapeno pepper, and added lemon zest to the salsa. Served this over angel hair pasta. Everyone loved the fresh, light and utterly delicious taste of this dish. Great way to use up summer tomatoes. We thought this was fantastic!
     
  2. Great tasting recipe - I took a short cut -after browning my chop, squeezing lemon juice on it I put the salsa over it added a half lemon put a tight lid on the pan and simmered it for 15 minutes-cooked to perfection. Thanks Sacville girl for another keeper

This is a picture of me and my husband in Portugal, climbing up above the clouds with our bikes. Right now we are travelling around the world on our bicycles, so I only pop onto Zaar occasionally, when internet connections and time allow me to. If I don't reply to a message about one of my recipes, now you know why! Our trip may take several years so if it's urgent, it's probably better for you to post in the forums ;) Good food is really important to me -- I am happy to pay extra for food that I feel is produced in a sustainable and ethical way and always try to eat using seasonal produce. When we were in the UK we rarely shopped at supermarkets, trying instead to favour small producers, although we were very lucky in that we lived in London and there was lots of choice. We also were fortunate enough to have a weekly organic veg box delivered to our door, filled with so many lovely vegetables for very little money. It really opened my horizons in terms of the variety of vegetables I eat. If you're in the UK, check out Riverford for a box supplier as they're amazing! When I'm not eating I love to take pictures and travel with my husband. <img src="http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y53/DUCHESS13/World%20Tour/ZWT2.gif">
