Ethne’s note
This is a favourite for hard-core carnivores. A very simple recipe that requires very little work, except for an occasional glance to make sure all is well. During cooking, the chops could dry out depending on their fat content and the cooking method. In Texas, they add a little beer to the remaining marinade to brush on the pork chops a few times while cooking. Any liquid will do the trick : tasty wine, fruit juice, or tomato juice for example.
