Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 15

4 center cut pork chops
1 pound ground (chili cut) pork
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1/2 teaspoon granulated garlic
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1 teaspoon paprika
1/2 cup finely chopped green onions

2 cups BBQ sauce, (recommended: Bro's BBQ Sauce)
Dirty rice, red beans and tasso, praline yams and cornbread, as accompaniments, optional

Divide the pork mixture into 4 equal amounts and overstuff the mixture into the pocket of each pork chop. Mix all the rub ingredients together in a small bowl. Season each pork chop with the rub. Cover and refrigerate overnight to let the seasoning infuse into the chops. Preheat a grill or BBQ pit to 375 degrees F. Put the stuffed chops on the grill or BBQ pit. After 30 minutes, turn the pork chops over. After an additional 15 minutes, turn each pork chop over and begin basting each side with BBQ sauce.

Pan-Seared Pork Chops with Warm Cajun Grain Salad image

We love the plump and tender grains of spelt (a member of the wheat family) in this warm Cajun-inspired salad. The dish goes great with pork chops, but also try it with grilled chicken or blackened fish.

Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Categories     main-dish

Time 1h5m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

3/4 cup spelt
3 tablespoons olive oil
1 small green bell pepper, cut into thin 1-inch strips
4 scallions, cut into 1/2-inch-long pieces, white and green parts separated
2 stalks celery, thinly sliced
2 ounces Canadian bacon, cut into 1/2-inch pieces
2 cloves garlic, thinly sliced
1 1/2 teaspoons Cajun seasoning
1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
1/2 cup roughly chopped parsley
Kosher salt
4 bone-in pork chops, each about 3/4-inch-thick and 8 ounces
Lemon wedges and Louisiana-style hot sauce for serving, optional

Steps:

  • Combine the spelt with 1 1/2 cups of water in a medium saucepan. Bring to a boil, reduce heat to medium low, cover and simmer until most of the water is absorbed and the grains are tender but still chewy, about 30 minutes. Remove from the heat and let sit, covered, for 10 minutes. Let cool completely. (The spelt can be cooked up to 1 day ahead and refrigerated.)
  • Heat 2 tablespoons of the oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the bell pepper, scallion whites, celery and Canadian bacon and cook, stirring frequently, until the vegetables are crisp-tender and the ham is lightly browned, about 4 minutes. Add the garlic and 1/2 teaspoon of the Cajun seasoning and cook, stirring, for 1 minute. Add the spelt, tomatoes, scallion greens, parsley and salt to taste. Cook, stirring, until the spelt and tomatoes are warmed through, about 2 minutes. Remove from the heat, transfer to a medium bowl and cover to keep warm. Wipe out the skillet.
  • Sprinkle the pork chops all over with the remaining 1 teaspoon Cajun seasoning and 1 teaspoon salt. Heat the remaining 1 tablespoon oil in the empty skillet over medium-high heat. Nestle the pork chops in the skillet snuggly. Cook until nicely browned on both sides and an instant-read thermometer inserted into the center of each registers 140 degrees F, about 4 minutes per side.
  • Divide the pork chops among four plates. Serve with the warm grain salad, and with wedges of lemon and hot sauce on the side if using.

PORK CHOPS WITH BROWNED GARLIC BUTTER SAUCE ( CAJUN )



Pork Chops With Browned Garlic Butter Sauce ( Cajun ) image

This is a Paul Prudhomme recipe I got many years ago in a Tabasco cookbook. Really good, company always loves it. I've also posted a recipe of my own, inspired by this one for when I crave the taste but don't have the time. Not quite as wonderful as this one, but great when you are in a hurry and a bit healthier as it's not breaded and fried.

Provided by little_wing

Categories     Pork

Time 30m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 15

4 pork chops (1/2 inch thick)
1/3 cup flour

1 teaspoon salt

1/8 teaspoon dry mustard
1/8 teaspoon rubbed sage
1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper (more if you're a heat freak)
1/8 teaspoon ground cumin
1/8 teaspoon thyme
4 tablespoons butter
1 teaspoon minced garlic
1 teaspoon Tabasco sauce

Steps:

  • Combine all the seasoning ingredients in a small bowl.

  • Add the remaining seasoning mix to the flour and place on a flat plate.
  • Heat 1/4 inch oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until hot, about 2 minutes.
  • Just before frying, dredge each chop in the seasoned flour mixture, shaking off excess.
  • Fry in hot oil until dark golden brown and cooked through, about 4 to 5 minutes per side.
  • Drain on paper towels.
  • In a very small pan, heat the butter over high heat until half melted, shaking the pan almost constantly.
  • Add the garlic and continue to cook until the butter is melted and the foam on the surface is barely browned, about 2 to 3 minutes, shaking the pan frequently. Be careful not to burn the butter.
  • Add the Tabasco and continue to cook until the sauce is lightly browned and very foamy, about 1 to 2 minutes.
  • Remove from heat and drizzle over the chops. Serve immediately.

CAJUN COMFORT PORK CHOPS AND BABY LIMA BEANS image

In memory of my Cajun Mama and Daddy who taught me how to cook this recipe. Friends and family always knew if they stopped by for a visit at meal time,they would be invited to sit and eat at my parents table. My picky husband, our children and friends and whoever shared this dish with us, ask for it time and again. I have never...

Provided by Rita Henry, Morris

Categories     Steaks and Chops

Time 2h

Number Of Ingredients 8

4 bone in, pork loin chops, 1/2" thick
1 onion, yellow, medium
16 oz frozen, baby lima beans, thawed
1-2 Tbsp olive oil
salt and pepper
3 c hot water
1 Tbsp all purpose flour, dissolved in 1/4 c. cool water
4 servings, cooked rice

Steps:

  • 1. Cut a slight slit on the curved sides of the pork chops, for them not to curl up while browning them.Season the pork chops on both sides with salt and pepper. Add olive oil, just to cover the bottom of a large skillet. Heat oil on high, fit the four pork chops flat in the skillet. Brown the chops on both sides, as much as you can, on high heat, but not burnt. Transfer the chops from the skillet and place them in the bottom of the crock-pot.
  • 2. Add the chopped onions to the skillet and sauté until softened, about a minute. Add 2 cups of hot water to the skillet and the baby lima beans. Stir to scrap up all the tasty bits, from the browned pork chops. Transfer ingredients from the skillet to the crock-pot, on top of the pork chops. DO NOT stir. Cover and DO NOT uncover, unless to add more hot water to cover the top of the beans.
  • 3. Cook on high for 2 hours. Check the beans by taste, to see if they are tender and the pork chops at the bottom should be tender, also. Don't let the water get below your beans.
  • 4. Measure one tablespoon of flour, add the 1/4 cup of cool water. Stir to dissolve, without lumps. Add slowly to the crock-pot and stir gently, to thicken for a sauce texture. Taste sauce for seasoning and add some Tony Cachere's seasoning or whatever seasoning to your taste (celery salt).
  • 5. Serve over, a serving of cooked rice.
