I made this just as the recipe said. BUT I cooked it in my Instant Pot for 4 minutes, marinade and all. I released the pressure and removed the pork to a hot cast iron skillet with a little oil in it. I browned the chops quickly, removed them from the skillet and dunked them back in the cooking liquid in the Instant Pot. Plopped those babies on a plate with a pile of mashed potatoes and chowed.

I just made this today. I found it good but I think my lemons were very juicy for the lemon was very overpowering. I will make it again but make a few adjustments. I don't know what though maybe some Worcestershire or a little brown sugar? I just don't know. but it isn't bad just needs some TLC I would love some suggestions >)
