Braised Pork Chops with Apricots

I liked them, my husband absolutely loved them. They were a lot like the Pork Pot Roast with Apricots, Cardamom & Ginger from All About Braising, and just like in that dish, the orange flavour definitely was dominant, with the spices following.

This dish turned out great...full of flavor and the meat was juicy. The sauce was sweet from the apricots and earthy from the cumin...delicious! I doubled the recipe to use 4 chops and 1 cup of shallots sure seemed like a lot! It didn't taste bad, in fact it gave the sauce texture. I would make this dish again for a special occasion but not for a regular week night meal, it wasn't hard, but definitely not a quickie.
