  1. Remove the excess fat off the pork chops(keep it for your bean stew), remove the bones and cut the meat in smaller pieces.
  2. With a wooden meat mallet, thin the meat until it is about 1 cm thick.
  3. Place in a glass dish, season lightly, drizzle with some lemon juice and then cover with the buttermilk.
  4. Leave for a couple of hours, overnight is always best.
  5. Preheat oven to 180C
