Sounds very flavourful! Could definitely sink my teeth into a couple of those.
@Sophie – Yup, they are delicious especially when they are crispy
@Marisa – The flavours are great, and its quick to prepare!
Waw!! These look lovely pork chops!!
Very apart too! MMMMMM,..
Mouth watering! I need to try it out this festive 4 dinner with a couple of friends.
Spread the pesto on the chops and place in the fridge, is this prior to cooking the chops?
Yup Chris you need to marinate the chops so you need to spread the pesto on before cooking – the longer you leave it the greater the flavour!
Thank you. I will come back and comment in case others can benefit.
