SMOTHERED PORK CHOPS

Steps:

• Sprinkle the pork chops all over with salt and the Cajun seasoning. Pour the flour into a shallow bowl. Dredge the chops in the flour, turning to coat, and tap off any excess. Reserve the remaining flour. Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chops; cook until browned, 2 to 3 minutes per side. Transfer to a plate. Add the butter, onion, thyme and a pinch of salt to the skillet. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the onion is golden brown, 8 to 10 minutes. Add 2 tablespoons of the reserved flour to the skillet and cook, stirring, 1 minute. Add the chicken broth, bring to a boil and cook until reduced by one-third, about 2 minutes. Add the buttermilk and return the chops to the skillet. Bring the sauce to a simmer, then reduce the heat to medium low and cook until the sauce is thickened and the chops are just cooked through, 10 to 12 minutes. Serve with biscuits.

Steps:

• Heat the oil in an 8-quart pot to 350 degrees F.
• Mix salt, pepper, granulated garlic and paprika in a small bowl to make seasoning for pork chops.

• Place 2 pork chops in preheated oil and fry until golden brown, 3 to 5 minutes on each side (depending on thickness of pork chops). Remove pork chops from pot and let drain on a paper towel-lined plate. Repeat with remaining pork chops.
• Drain used oil from pot, but retain flour drippings left over from frying. Add 1/4 cup to 1/2 cup flour to the pot and return to medium heat. Using a whisk or a spoon, stir the flour. Let ingredients brown to a dark toffee color, about 5 minutes. Add garlic and onions and continue to cook, stirring, until onions are fully coated in browned flour.

• Heat a large saute pan or cast iron skillet over medium heat and coat with the oil. When the oil is nice and hot, lay the pork chops in the pan in a single layer and fry for 3 minutes on each side until golden brown. Remove the pork chops from the pan and add a little sprinkle of seasoned flour to the pan drippings. Mix the flour into the fat to dissolve and then pour in the chicken broth in. Let the liquid cook down for 5 minutes to reduce and thicken slightly. Stir in the buttermilk to make a creamy gravy and return the pork chops to the pan, covering them with the sauce. Simmer for 5 minutes until the pork is cooked through. Season with salt and pepper and garnish with chopped parsley before serving.
