I did cut the recipe in half for the 2 of us, but followed the list of ingredients right on down & had an extremely flavorful chops for dinner! We love pork chops & you've provided me with a great new way to serve them. Definitely a winning recipe & a great keeper, too! Thanks for sharing it! [Made & reviewed in Zaar Stars recipe tag]

I did 4 pork loin chops (total weight just over a kilo - bone in) and marinated for a couple of hours, I did use sprigs of fresh rosemary but otherwise followed through with the recipe mixing the the marination ingredients in a corningware dish which I marinated the chops, turning occassionally and then the DH cooked on the electric ridged grill and must admit he did a great job and the chops tasted great. Thank you TeresaS, made for Potluck Tag and the I Want Real Food Party.

Great marinade for pork chops. I put 3 chops in the marinade for 3 hours. I made the marinade as written except that I omitted the rosemary due to personal preference. Thanks for sharing the recipe. Made for Stars Tag Game.
