[@TheCajunNinja]

SMOTHERED PORK CHOPS & ONION GRAVY 6-8 Bone-in Pork Chops Kosher Salt for flavor Coarse Black Pepper for flavor 1 Tablespoon of Vegetable Oil 2 Onions 1/2 Stick of Unsalted Butter 1/4 Cup All Purpose Flour 1 (32 oz) Container of Chicken Stock 1 Teaspoon of Cajun or Creole Seasoning 1/2 Cup of Water Rice or Mashed Potatoes to serve with Start out by getting a pan heated over med/high heat. Generously season each side of the pork chops with the fresh salt and pepper. Add vegetable oil to the hot pan. Brown each side of your pork chops by searing them for 4-5 minutes on each side. When you remove them, you want to put them on a hard plate or bowl. This will help salvage any excesliquid that comes off of them. While your porkchops are searing, go ahead and chop your onions. Once you have browned all of your pork chops, remove, and add your chopped onions to the pan. Feel free to add a small amount of cold water to help break up the drippings on the bottom of the pan. Sauté the onions for 5 minuets, then add the 1/2 Stick of Butter. Melt the butter completely, then add the flour. When your onions are soft and brown, add a small amount of the chicken stock and mix well. You want to get a creamy consistency. Add most or all of the remaining chicken stock to the pan. Next layer your pork chops over the onion gravy. Be sure to pour any of the excess liquid from the plate or bowl the pork chops were in, back into the pan. Add the Cajun/Creole Seasoning. Add the 1/2 cup of water. Bring to a boil, cover, then lower to a simmering heat. Cook for 2 hours. Feel free to stir every 15 minutes. For a thicker gravy, leave uncovered the last 30 minutes. Serve with either rice or mashed potatoes. Enjoy! 😊

I have tried quite a few recipes and every single one does not disappoint! Can’t wait for the cookbook.. I’ve already pre-ordered.

[@takenAtowngurl]

This recipe is also amazing, I have made this a few times and its so amazingly great tasting. Thanks again for sharing your recipes! There are a few more I have seen that I just cant wait to try!

[@amybuchler8874]

Came out so good! Thank you so much. This is the first time I was ever able to make tender pork chops. Such a familiar dish, but hadn't had it in years. I used to have this as a kid, but didn't know how to make it. Your receipt is better than my mom's cooking. The only thing I did different was, instead of corn, I added steamed green beans that I had marinated in roasted garlic into the gravy the last 15-20 minutes.

[@wreese7136]

I made this yesterday and it is phenomenal!! Love your videos, keep up the great work!

[@stephaniemartinez6504]

Finally made this tonight for dinner and my family absolutely loved it! Thank you for the recipe your always my favorite go to when it comes to comfort food my family will love!

[@glasseye6]

I have seen many people cook the same dishes as you, but you really do a much more interesting job and in the right order. I’m a HUGE fan.

[@rickistephens4582]

[@got1769]

I like to do chicken the same way and put a 1/2 package of brown gravy mix with it just to make the gravy more brown! Watching you make that made me want some smothered porkchops so guess whats gone be for dinner tomorrow!!!!

[@reilovetro]

I added about ten cloves of garlic to the recipe but have left it otherwise the same. Just set the timer for two hours and it's already smelling awesome in here. Rice and gravy is gonna get us Cajuns through these tough times as it has plenty of times before. Thank you for your videos, podna! Sometimes I forget where I came from.

There are a lot of imitation Cajun cooks on KZbin, and I’m sure their food is fine. But you sir are the real deal. This is just like all the good kitchens and plate lunch places around the area.

[@melindamccullough7349]

Thank you, thank you, thank you. I’m from Wisconsin and my (Southern) husband asked me what was in the gravy because he liked it so much. I used thicker pork chops and cooked it longer and it came out perfectly.

[@b.w.1302]

The only recipe I use! I’m about to eat in a few! Amazing 💓💓

[@hyudoin5597]

Made this with turkey chops a few times. First time made it exact as the video. Second time, made it different. Used all purpose seasoning from my Carib place, smoked paprika, onion and garlic powder, and ms dash in addition to salt and pepper to the meat. I soaked turkey chops in lemon and apple cider vinegar before cooking for as long as u can. Always brine turkey with ap vinegar. Soak in plain water with lemons after. I hate the taste of gamely meat and fishy fish. I soak all fish and meat in apv and/or salt and/or lemon (certain fish, turkey and chicken only - I don’t eat pork or beef or lamb or goat etc) Added walker wood hot jerk paste to the rue with the same as the video. Half cover for 30-45 mins. Used a bottle water added Goya powder chicken pack instead of chicken stock. We loved it.

[@belenbadejo1250]

Made me wanna jump thru the video..looks so damn good & made my ass hungry!!..love the new bearded look!!
