There’s more to Greek flavour than lemon, pepper and oregano. This recipe is a simplified version of the traditional onion-based dish and uses blend of orange zest, cinnamon and cloves to liven things up. Swap out the chops for your protein of choice using the same vegetable and spice mixture. Chicken or fish would be excellent choices.
