What are the orange circular grilled sides? They look like cross cuts of yams????? If so, they would be with the chops. The chops recipe sounds like a 5 star one to me.

These were delicious; absolutely loved the flavours. The soft apples, the onions, the cola... everything. Just brilliant. The pork meat was lovely and tender too. Perfect weekend lunch recipe!

Wow...I really loved the flavor of these pork chops. I must admit, the ingredients sounded interesting, but I wasn't really sure how these would turn out. The combination of ingredients really made for a great tasting pork chop. Thanks, again katia, for sharing such a wonderful recipe.

Thanks so much for sharing your recipe Katia. These pork chops were the bomb. The meat was moist and tender, the sauce was enhanced by the apples and sweet onions which blended well with the coke and maple syrup, creating a delicious sweet sauce.
