It was good, but I didn't watch it carefully as a previous reviewer said they cooked it 3x as long as recommended. I cooked mine about 13 minutes without the liquid, and then added the liquid for 15 more...it was a bit dried out. For future, I will go by the original timing given in the recipe. Note: vermouth works as a great substitute for sherry. The onions were delicious with the pork. -
DJM you are right - these do take on a sweet flavor. The only change I made was to increase the cooking times and I used creole seasoning on the chops before I started browning them. I browned the chops for approximately 15 minutes on each side. I sauted the onions until they were just about carmelized. I covered and simmered for approximately 30 minutes then added the sherry and simmered for approximately 10 minutes. We loved the flavor and I certainly loved the "ease" of preparing this dish.
