Emerils Shake Em Up Pork Chops Recipes

Steps:

• Season both sides of the chops with the Essence.
• Heat the olive oil in a large, heavy pot or Dutch oven over high heat. Add the pork chops, 3 or 4 at a time, and lightly brown, about 2 minutes per side. Remove the pork chops and transfer to a platter. Set aside.
• Reduce the heat to medium. Add the flour and stir constantly until the roux is the color of peanut butter, about 4 minutes. Add the onions, salt, and black pepper. Cook, stirring, until the onions are slightly soft, about 5 minutes. Add the garlic, bay leaves, chicken stock, and water and bring to a boil. Return the pork chops to the pot. Reduce the heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer for 45 minutes. Add the smoked sausage and the potatoes. Bring to a boil; reduce the heat to medium-low, and cook, uncovered, stirring occasionally, for 30 minutes. Remove the bay leaves.
• Remove from the heat. Serve with either steamed white rice or rice pilaf.
• Combine all ingredients thoroughly.
• Recipe from "New New Orleans Cooking" by Emeril Lagasse and Jessie Tirsch, published by William and Morrow, 1993.

Steps:

• In a medium bowl, combine the milk, garlic, white wine, red pepper, paprika, and 1 teaspoon salt and stir well.
• Add the pork chops and soak at room temperature while assembling the remaining ingredients, at least 30 minutes.
• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F and line a large rimmed baking sheet with aluminum foil.
• Place a lightly greased wire rack on top of the baking sheet and set aside.
• In a large sealable plastic bag, add the bread crumbs, remaining 1/2 teaspoon salt, the black pepper, Essence or Italian seasoning, and cheese and shake to combine. Drain the pork chops from the milk mixture, one at a time, and add to the bread crumb mixture.
• Shake to coat thoroughly. (You may need to press the mixture into the chops with your hands.)
• Arrange the pork chops on the baking rack and drizzle with the olive oil.
• Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until cooked through and the breading is crisp and golden.
• **Cook time does not include marinating the chops for 30 minutes in the milk mixture.
