This looks good but I rarely cook pork chops as they always seem very dry. Maybe I overcook them. I will try this. The fruit/pork combination sounds delicious.

8/10/2010 01:46:52 PM Report AbuseIf the dish is 'garlic green beans' why is all the garlic going into the pork... and not the green beans? Recipe is deceptively named even if it does sound good.
