Steps:
- For the ham hock gravy: Combine the ham hocks, corn and ice water in a pot. Bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer and cook for 3 1/2 hours. Add the celery, carrots and onions, and cook for another 30 minutes.
- Strain the stock, reserving the ham hocks. When cool enough to handle, pick the meat off of the ham hocks.
- In a 4-quart pot, melt the butter and stir in the flour. Cook the roux for 2 minutes, then stir in 2 quarts of the ham hock broth, followed by half of the picked ham hock meat. Simmer the gravy for 15 to 20 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. (Reserve 8 cups of the ham hock broth and half of the picked ham hock meat for the collard greens.)
- For the collard greens: Melt the butter in a large pot. Add the onions and garlic, and saute for 3 to 4 minutes to sweat the onions. Add the chile flakes and saute 1 minute. Add the collard greens and ham hock meat, and stir to wilt the collards. Add the cider vinegar, apple juice and 8 cups of the ham hock broth. Bring to a simmer, cover the pot, and simmer until the greens are tender, 1 hour. Season with salt and pepper.
- For the roasted sweet potatoes: Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F.
- Toss the diced sweet potatoes in a bowl with the grapeseed oil, salt and pepper.
- Spread the sweet potatoes out on a baking sheet and roast in the oven until tender and browned, 15 to 20 minutes.
- Transfer the sweet potatoes to a saute pan. Add the molasses, chili powder and cayenne. Saute over high heat, tossing to coat the sweet potatoes. Season with salt and pepper.
- For the pork chops: Preheat a grill or grill pan to high.
- Sprinkle the pork chops with the salt and pepper. Grill until cooked through and nicely marked, 2 to 3 minutes per side. Remove the chops from the grill and plate immediately.
- For plating: Divide the sweet potatoes between six plates. Using a slotted spoon, strain the collard greens and plate them next to the sweet potatoes. Shingle the pork chops over one side of the sides. Smother with ham hock gravy. Serve.

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.
- Lightly sprinkle pork chops on both sides with the spice mixture. Dredge pork chops in flour, then shake off any excess flour.
- 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. Slowly add 3 to 4 cups water until gravy reaches your desired thickness. Add gravy enhancer to achieve a deep brown color, if desired. Place drained pork chops in gravy. Let simmer, uncovered, for approximately 15 minutes.

Steps:
- Fry bacon in small saucepan over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until lightly browned, 8 to 10 minutes.

- Using wooden spoon, scrape browned bits on pan bottom and cook, stirring frequently, until onions are softened and browned around the edges, about 5 minutes. Stir in garlic and thyme and cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds longer.
- Return chops to skillet in single layer, covering chops with onions. Pour in warm sauce and any juices collected from pork; add bay leaves.
- Cover, reduce heat to low, and simmer until pork is tender and paring knife inserted into chops meets very little resistance, about 30 minutes.
- Transfer chops to warmed serving platter and tent with foil.
- Increase heat to medium-high and simmer sauce rapidly, stirring frequently, until thickened to gravy-like consistency, about 5 minutes. Discard bay leaves, stir in parsley, and adjust seasonings with salt and pepper.

This is pure comfort food. I serve this with mashed potatoes to use all the gravy, and a green vegetable. If you want it thicker, you can add some cornstarch mixed with water to the sauce to thicken.

- Soak the pork chops in the brine in the refrigerator for 8-12 hours. When ready to cook, heat your oven to 325 degrees F. transfer pork chops from the brine to a paper towel-lined plate to dry the pork chops. in a bowl, combine flour, dried thyme, and several turns of black pepper. working in batches, dredge pork chops in the flour mixture and, in a large dutch oven on medium-high heat, cook 1-2 minutes each side until browned. remove pork chops and set aside on a plate.
- deglaze the pan with chicken stock and apple cider and bring to a simmer. add in garlic and fresh thyme, and add pork chops to the liquid so that they are submerged. transfer to the oven and cook for 45 minutes to an hour. at the 45 minute mark and/or when there’s about 15 minutes left of cooking, increase the oven temperature to 350 and remove the lid.
- once finished, transfer the dutch oven back to the stovetop and remove the pork chops from the pot onto a clean serving plate. make the gravy by bringing the remaining liquid in the dutch oven to a low simmer and reduce the liquid by about half (this might take at least 10-20 minutes). once the liquid is reduced, in a small mixing bowl, combine butter, 1 small spoonful of flour and several large spoonfuls of the liquid from the pot – stir to combine and then add back to the pot. if needed, add 1-4 to 1/2 cup of water to thin out the gravy as preferred.
- in a separate skillet, cook the onion for about 30-40 minutes on low to medium heat until soft and near caramelization – continuously stirring so they do not burn. add to the gravy and serve over the pork chops with rice and sautéed apples.
