Make Cajun Pork Chops

Here's an easy way to make my Momo's (Cajun French for grandma) Cajun pork chops.

Difficulty: Easy

Instructions

Step 1

Tony Chachere's cajun seasoning

Season your pork chops well on both sides with Tony Chachere's Creole Seasoning (or another Cajun seasoning if you can't find Tony's).
Step 2

Add olive oil.

Add a generous amount of olive oil to coat the cast iron pan. The key here is to not skimp on the olive oil - you'll want to get the pork chops good and brown. (NOTE: you can sautee onions here first, until carmelized - before adding pork chops to the pan.)
Step 3

High heat!

Fry pork chops on high heat until thoroughly browned on each side.
Step 4

Brown the pork chops.

Continue to brown the pork chops - add a pinch of sugar and/or Kitchen Bouquet if necessary to get a good brown color.
Step 5

Med-High Heat

Turn the heat down to medium-high.
Step 6

Stir.

Continue to brown pork chops - make sure to stir up the bits at the bottom of the pan to avoid burning and to help with flavor.
Step 7

Add water.

When the pork chops are thoroughly browned, add enough water to reach the top of the pork chops (do not cover them with water).
Step 8

Cook for about 20 minutes on medium - or until the gravy has thickened. Be careful not to cook all the water away.
Step 9

Serve over rice and enjoy!

Thanks Momo!
