This is one of the easiest pork chop meals to prepare. Simply brown the chops, then steam them in water with some lemons. That’s it. It renders delicious pork chops with a great lemon sauce  that goes great with potatoes, or rice, or couscous, or by itself with a crusty loaf of bread. We paired it with herbed baked potatoes and it was GRAND!

Turn the lowly pork chop into a main dish that everyone will love. The recipe is a winner—see for yourself.
