Wowsers, this was good!! I cheated a bit in using turkey cutlets instead of pork, because we don't eat pork and I thought this would be great with turkey, too. And it is - totally awesome. The compote with the hint of cardamom is to die for, really.<br/>I think there is a little typo which I didn't realize until I actually started to cook: You sure mean 4-6 whole pork chops, not 4-6 teaspoons pork chops LOL<br/>Thanks for sharing this great recipe!<br/>Made for PAC Spring 2014
