Ingredient notes & substitutions

Pork chops: I recommend bone in pork chops as they tend to be more flavorful, and less likely to dry out. But you can also use pork chops without the bone, or even frozen pork chops.
Seasonings: You can swap out the spices for others you enjoy, and create your own favorite spice mix.
