I felt slightly guilty pouring more sauce on because of all the butter but it's delicious!

I found this recipe in her new cookbook. The glaze was absolutely delicious! My husband and I put it over everything on our plate! However, my pork chops were a little dry, and I did not cook them for as long as the book recommended. Nonetheless, we will definitely make this again!

Ive tried some of giada's recipes and theyre a keeper in my recipe list...except this one. Maybe because i tended to compare it w my own pork chop, thats why i didnt find it that yummy? (I still prefer my garlic, worchestershired chops...or maybe because ive been so used to asian chops (im asian!?...so i dont know but this one's so-so.
