Notes
A quick stovetop supper with bold tang and mellow sweetness—these chops are a sailor’s delight when time is short but flavor is non-negotiable. Keeps well in the ship’s stores for up to 2 days. For a zestier voyage, add a splash of apple cider vinegar or a pinch of crushed red pepper to the sauce.
