We thought this was good. Skipped the onions and garlic because my husband doesn't like them. Served it with boiled potatoes. The "gravy" was very delicious. Will definitly make this again.

I thought this was good, but maybe a little too thyme-ey and lemon-ey...just my personal taste I guess. My fiance liked it.

These were good. The family loved them. I did not use the green onions-didn't have, the cornstarch- didn't have, the thyme -didn't have and I also went light on the lemon juice using only 2 T instead of 3. I also used 2 chicken boullion cubes and 1 1/2 cups of water in place of the broth and did not add additional salt. I intended to use additional flour in place of the cornstarch,but forgot and it turned out just perfect. I also served this with boiled potatoes and green beans which were perfect complements. Thanks for a great recipe Hoosier Nana! Great name btw!

Excellent recipe! I added a bit of red chili flakes to give it an extra zing but that's only cuz I like food spicy. Definitely a keeper and easily doable with chicken in place of pork.

Yum! I make a lot of pork chops, and this is going in to the rotation. I don't like green oinions, so I added dried chives instead. I also cooked them for about an hour on LOW, they were fall apart tender! At the end I thickened them up with Wondra, which I like better than flour. Very good! Served with wild rice, and I put the sauce allll over it, so did my boyfriend, he said he would love this again, and I might try it with chicken.
