    Can substitute chicken thighs for pork chops.

    The cauliflower is good, though.

    Underwhelming. Added smoked paprika and urfa pepper, and cooked chops separately (as suggested in other notes). Used garlic paste instead of finely minced. Could have used even more spicing up. Even with marinating, the flavor didn't penetrate thick chops. May try again with thinner ones. And 7-10 minutes is more than enough time to cook the pork at that temperature.

    Loved this! The rub is so flavorful! Made some cooking adjustments though by cooking the pork chops and cauliflower separately. I took the suggestion of the reviewer Bessp and put a cast-iron skillet in the oven while it was preheating. Using this smoking skillet for the pork chops gave them a nice sear. That also gave me flexibility for cooking the cauliflower, as I usually don’t like overdone roasted cauliflower and could just pull the florets when done. The chops and cauliflower went in the oven at the same time and were done about the same time too, so it was convenient all around. Would make again

    These were amazing! Perfectly cooked chops, with charred bits of cauliflower. The pomegranates do some kind of magic. Will make again.

    I made this exactly as written (with parsley) and the chops were juicy and the cauliflower perfect. But we thought the pork chops tasted too much of cumin and nothing else, so next time I'll sub some of the cumin with ground coriander and paprika, and increase the garlic (or maybe add garlic and onion powder).

    Easy, quick recipe, very tasty. Next time I'll cook the chops in a skillet instead. I'd rather have a good sear and have to wash another dish.

    We sat down a little late and hangry and a few minutes into dinner my teen declared this a perfect meal and asked if I’d put it into regular rotation. She had chopped herbs with no pomegranate, the Little had everything plain, and the two adults had it as suggested with pomegranate and chopped cilantro and mint. I honestly found it a little one-dimensionally garlicky without the garnishes, next time I’d consider adding smoked paprika and 1/2 t of Urfa or Aleppo chile. But it’s so easy and with a reaction like that I’m bound to make it again.

    I wasn't crazy about this dish and neither was my husband. The flavors didn't quite come together with the vibrancy I have come to expect from Melissa Clark. I might try it with chicken thighs, but I'm honestly not sure that would make much of a difference.
