My husband & I really enjoyed this dish. I did leave out the thyme though as it is not a flavour that I like. I also think that you could use chicken or beef schnitzel in place of the pork and it would be just as great. I served it with a potato gratin and vegetables. Thank you for this really easy tasty recipe. Cheers

I was looking for a recipe for some pork cube steaks, and ultimately decided that this would work. (It did, texture-wise.) Unfortunately, we found it to be too tart and lemony. I thought the other spices worked well, though.
