This is an awesome recipe! Because I had no vermouth, shallots or Dijon mustard on hand, I replaced the shallots with chopped vadalia onion, the dry vermouth with rice flavored cooking wine, and the Dijon mustard with brown mustard and honey. My family and I absolutely love this recipe, and it's easy to make. What more could you ask for in a recipe? It's going into my cookbook.

This turned out great. My husband grilled the pork. I followed the rest of the recipe. The pork chops were resting and the juice that was on the plate I took the juice and added to the mushroom sauce. My husband loved the taste of the mushrooms and sauce. I felt I had to cook down the sauce more.

I had this recipe in my pork cookbook for a while and forgot about it I wish I had found it sooner. what a good recipe, We have pork a lot and it's so nice to have it done a bit different, I didn't have any fresh thyme so I used dried otherwise I stuck to the recipe and will I certainly make it often, a very nice recipe. Made for herb of the month. (thyme)

This was terrific! I was looking for a recipe to go with ingredients I had and bingo! ...well almost. I substituted dried reconstituted mushrooms for fresh, garlic for the shallot, added a squeeze of lemon and topped it with minced parsley & grated lemon rind. Served with steamed spinach and pasta with parma cheese. Thanks for tickling my creative juices, this is a keeper

Wonderful flavourful recipe! I will definately be making these again, they are delicious with a wonderful sauce. I too had no shallots so used green onion and had to use dried thyme; I look forward to making it again with fresh thyme. Also had no vermouth so subed with lime vodka, YUM! Served with potato and green beans, thanks for posting.
