We thought this was an excellent dish. I served it with pasta and mushrooms. The next day I mixed all the leftovers with some mayonnaise and it made a delicious salad.

Thank you.

I made this recipe tonight.I Loved the honey and lemon blend with the pork. Wonderful flavor.

I will however make the change of adding just a touch of iol to the butter to keep it from burning and instead of just flour and seasoning, I will try dredging through egg and then flour. AL in all, wonderful recipena dI will be making this many times again.

Thank you

This does not work very well with thick pork chops due to the small cooking times. If cooking with a thick chop or a bone-in chop, cook for 5-6 minutes per side during the first cooking portion and then 2-3 for the second. This ensures the honey does not carbonize; turn black and taste burnt.
