Excellant pork chops Kari!! I just did 2 pork chops, quite big though. Instead of the cayenne pepper I used the Cajun seasoning and doubled it. Cut back just slightly on the green pepper, onions, and the soy sauce, but used 2 cloves of smashed garlic. These were exceptional, nicely finished with the pinapple chunks and the wine added wonderfully to the combination of flavours. These will be a regular in our house, thanks for sharing.

Excellent recipe and the pork chops were so tender and the sauce was great. I doubled this recipe for my family. DH said it was a bit to spice hot for him. So the next time I'll put the salt and cayenne pepper into a salt shaker to season his chops, lightly.

my bf likes pineapples so i'll attempt this again, but it lacked oomph and the peppers and onions were overdone. i used tony's and sesame oil, but otherwise followed the recipe. next time i'll add the veggies later and perhaps some chili oil.

Used Zatarain's cayenne & a bit of thyme but followed recipe otherwise faithfully. Man, was this good! Thank you Just Married for a yum recipe we will use again!

Flavorful. Mine didn't turn out juicy/tender, but I gave a 5 anyway because I may not have done it quite right. Also, I used olive oil with a touch of chili oil; used cooking sherry; left out bell peppers.
