Categories     main-dish

Time 1h55m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 24

2 cups root beer
2 cups reduced veal stock
4 (16-ounce) double-cut bone-in pork chops
4 teaspoons Essence, recipe follows
4 teaspoons olive oil
1 recipe Bourbon-Mashed Sweet Potatoes, recipe follows
1 recipe Caramelized Onions, recipe follows
Parsley leaves, for garnish
2 1/2 tablespoons paprika
2 tablespoons salt
2 tablespoons garlic powder
1 tablespoon black pepper
1 tablespoon onion powder
1 tablespoon cayenne pepper
1 tablespoon dried oregano
1 tablespoon dried thyme
1 3/4 to 2 pounds sweet potatoes
1/2 cup heavy cream
1/4 cup bourbon whiskey
3 tablespoons light brown sugar
2 tablespoons molasses
1/8 teaspoon salt
8 tablespoons (1 stick) unsalted butter
2 pounds yellow onions, peeled and thinly sliced

Steps:

  • To make the glaze, combine the root beer and stock in a medium heavy saucepan. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Reduce the heat to medium-low and simmer until reduced to a thick syrup, about 1 cup, about 50 minutes to 1 hour. Remove from the heat.
  • Preheat a grill to medium-high. Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
  • Season each chop on both sides with 1 teaspoon of the Essence. Grill for 3 minutes. Turn each chop 1/4 turn to make grill marks and cook an additional 2 minutes. Turn and cook on the second side for 5 minutes.
  • Transfer to a baking sheet. Drizzle 1 teaspoon of the olive oil over each chop. Roast until cooked through and an instant-read thermometer inserted into the center reaches 150 degrees F, 12 to 15 minutes.
  • Place the chops on 4 serving plates and drizzle with the glaze. Spoon the Bourbon-Mashed Sweet Potatoes and Caramelized Onions onto the plates, garnish with parsley leaves, and serve.
  • Combine all ingredients thoroughly.
  • Recipe from "New New Orleans Cooking", by Emeril Lagasse and Jessie Tirsch, published by William and Morrow, 1993.
  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
  • Place the potatoes on a foil-lined baking sheet. Bake until tender and starting to ooze sugary syrup, about 1 hour and 15 minutes, depending on their size. Remove from the oven and let sit until cool enough to handle.
  • Cut a slit down each potato and scoop the flesh into a large bowl. Discard the skins. Add the cream, bourbon, brown sugar, molasses, and salt and beat on high speed with an electric mixer until smooth. Cover to keep warm, or gently reheat before serving.
  • Melt the butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the onions, reduce the heat to medium-low, and cook slowly, stirring occasionally, until golden brown and caramelized, 45 minutes to 1 hour. Remove from the heat and serve hot.

Time 45m

Number Of Ingredients 5

2 lb garnet sweet potatoes, peeled, cut into 1-inch cubes
4 Tbsp butter
3 Tbsp bourbon or whiskey (i used pendleton)
2 Tbsp brown sugar, more or less to taste
1 tsp vanilla

  • 4. Adjust to taste with more bourbon, butter or brown sugar. Drool. Enjoy!

Tips:

  • Use Yukon Gold potatoes: Yukon Gold potatoes are a good choice for mashed potatoes because they are fluffy and have a slightly sweet flavor.
  • Boil the potatoes until they are very tender: This will ensure that they are easy to mash and will have a smooth texture.
  • Drain the potatoes well: This will prevent the mashed potatoes from being watery.
  • Use a potato ricer to mash the potatoes: A potato ricer will give you the smoothest mashed potatoes.
  • Season the mashed potatoes to taste: You can use salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, or any other seasonings that you like.
  • Add butter, milk, or cream to the mashed potatoes: This will make them creamy and rich.
  • Garnish the mashed potatoes with fresh herbs or grated cheese: This will add a pop of color and flavor.
