I fudged this a bit. I was NOT turning on my oven so I used pork chops dredged in ras el hanout & pan fried in my cast iron skillet. I made the sauce adding drained, canned, sliced pears at the end. FANTASTIC recipe!! i was worried it would be too sweet but no, it isn't. Delicious! Served over recipe#424710. Made for ZWT6.
