Number Of Ingredients 17

Ingredients

1 1/2 teaspoons smoked paprika
1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
1/4 teaspoon onion powder
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
1/4 teaspoon salt (I add a little more or to taste)
1/2 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper
1 pinch sugar (optional)
4 (5 ounce) pork chops, trimmed of visible fat
1 tablespoon vegetable oil, divided
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
4 cups corn (about 6 ears)
1 cup chopped yellow onion
1/2 cup chopped red bell peppers (or comination of both) or 1/2 cup green bell pepper (or comination of both)
1 tablespoon minced jalapeno
2 teaspoons cajun seasoning
salt, to taste
1/2 cup heavy cream

Steps:

For the Chops: In a small bowl, combine paprika, oregano, onion powder, pinch sugar, garlic powder, salt and black pepper. Sprinkle pork with spice mixture. Heat 1 teaspoon oil in a large nonstick skillet on medium-high, tilting skillet to coat bottom lightly and cook pork for 3 to 4 minutes per side or until slightly pink in center. Transfer pork to a serving platter; cover to keep warm.
For the Maque Choux: To keep the mess down, wipe the skillet clean that the chops were cooked in or you can use different skillet. Melt the butter in a large skillet or saute pan over medium-high heat. Add the corn, onions, bell peppers, jalapeno, Cajun seasoning and salt; cook, stirring, until soft, for 10 minutes. Add the cream and cook for 2 minutes.
Dish the cooked chops with a serving of maque choux on the side.

This is a Cajun recipe I've had forever! I first prepared it when I was in my high school class in Metairie, Louisiana. It's awesome!

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 10

Ingredients

6 ears corn, husked and cleaned
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 large onion, thinly sliced
1 cup green bell pepper, chopped
1 large fresh tomato, chopped
¼ cup milk
salt to taste
cayenne pepper
¼ cup chopped green onions
8 strips crisply cooked bacon, crumbled

Steps:

Cut corn off the cobs by thinly slicing across the tops of the kernels; place in a medium bowl. Cut across the kernels again to release milk from the corn, add milk to bowl. Set aside.
Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add onion and green pepper, cook until onion is transparent, about 5 to 8 minutes. Combine corn, tomatoes, and milk with the onion mixture. Reduce heat to medium low, and cook 20 minutes longer, stirring frequently to prevent sticking. Do not boil. Season with salt and cayenne pepper. Lower heat, cover skillet, and cook 5 to 10 minutes longer. Stir in green onions and bacon. Remove from heat and serve.
