PORK CHOPS WITH BROWNED GARLIC BUTTER SAUCE ( CAJUN )
This is a Paul Prudhomme recipe I got many years ago in a Tabasco cookbook. Really good, company always loves it. I've also posted a recipe of my own, inspired by this one for when I crave the taste but don't have the time. Not quite as wonderful as this one, but great when you are in a hurry and a bit healthier as it's not breaded and fried.

Steps:
- Combine all the seasoning ingredients in a small bowl.
- Sprinkle the chops with some of the seasoning mix, patting in on with your hands (use about 2/3 of the mixture).
- Add the remaining seasoning mix to the flour and place on a flat plate.
- Heat 1/4 inch oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until hot, about 2 minutes.
- Just before frying, dredge each chop in the seasoned flour mixture, shaking off excess.
- Fry in hot oil until dark golden brown and cooked through, about 4 to 5 minutes per side.
- Drain on paper towels.
- In a very small pan, heat the butter over high heat until half melted, shaking the pan almost constantly.
- Add the garlic and continue to cook until the butter is melted and the foam on the surface is barely browned, about 2 to 3 minutes, shaking the pan frequently. Be careful not to burn the butter.
- Add the Tabasco and continue to cook until the sauce is lightly browned and very foamy, about 1 to 2 minutes.
- Remove from heat and drizzle over the chops. Serve immediately.

EASY BAKED CAJUN PORK CHOPS
Now to be honest, if you want to do these right you should check out the Paul Prudhomme recipe I've also posted. But... I make them this way when I'm low on time or energy and I think they are pretty good! They are baked instead of fried which is healthier but also means you aren't tied to the stove. Sometimes I leave out the tomatoes and serve with spanish rice instead. Cooking time is a guess. My oven cooks fast so I'm never sure what to tell people!

Steps:
- Mix paprika, cumin, black pepper, cayenne pepper, sage, and garlic salt on a plate. Liberally coat each pork chop with the spice mixture.
- Heat olive oil and several pumps of non-stick, butter-flavored spray in a large skillet over high heat. Place pork chops in the skillet, reducing heat to medium. Cook until the pork is no longer pink in the center, 8 to 10 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read 145 degrees F (63 degrees C).

CAJUN SMOTHERED PORK CHOPS
Here in South Louisiana, we "smother" just about everything. No, we don't put a blanket or something over our food to "smother" it! We just keep the cover of the pot almost all the way on. It's best cooked in a heavy, seasoned cast iron dutch oven, which is a must have, in my opinion. The meat is cooked in a natural gravy. I personally like my food on the spicy side. It's "fall off the bone" tender! So, put a pot of rice on! :)
