Steps:
- On a flat surface, use a sharp knife to make a pocket inside each of the pork chops. In a mixing bowl, combine the ground pork, salt, cayenne, granulated garlic, black pepper, paprika, and green onions; mix well. 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. Grill until a pretty glaze forms and the internal temperature registers 170 degrees F on an instant-read thermometer. Serve the pork chops on top of dirty rice, with red beans and tasso, praline yams and cornbread, if desired.

CAJUN PORK
Tina Gantner of Matthews, Missouri writes, "It took me a few tries to perfect this recipe, but now it's a favorite in our household. More Cajun seasoning can be added, but it tends to make the dish too hot for children. Chicken breast can be substituted for the pork tenderloin and rice can be used instead of the noodles."

Steps:
- In a large bowl, put in all of the ingredients.
- Cover with cling film and refrigerate for at least an hour.
- Preheat the oven 200c fan forced.
- Cook for 30-35 minutes.
Tips:
- For the best flavor, use high-quality pork cutlets. Look for cutlets that are at least 1 inch thick and have a good amount of marbling.
- Season the pork cutlets generously with salt and pepper before cooking. This will help to enhance the flavor of the meat.
- Use a heavy skillet or griddle to cook the pork cutlets. This will help to create a nice sear on the outside of the meat and prevent it from sticking.
- Cook the pork cutlets over medium-high heat for 3-4 minutes per side, or until they are cooked through. Be careful not to overcook the pork cutlets, as this will make them tough.
- Serve the pork cutlets immediately with your favorite sides. Some popular options include mashed potatoes, green beans, and cornbread.
- If you are using a marinade, be sure to marinate the pork cutlets for at least 30 minutes before cooking. This will help to tenderize the meat and infuse it with flavor.
- Pork cutlets can also be baked in the oven. To do this, preheat the oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit and bake the pork cutlets for 15-20 minutes, or until they are cooked through.
- To make a delicious pork cutlet sandwich, simply place a cooked pork cutlet on a bun and top it with your favorite toppings. Some popular options include cheese, lettuce, tomato, and onion.
