Steps:
- For the Pork Chops:.
- In a gallon container, add 1 quart warm water. Add the Kosher salt and light brown sugar. Whisk until dissolved. Add ice cubes and cold water to make 1 gallon brine.
- Place the pork rack in a large container and cover with the cold brine. Refrigerate for 15 hours.
- Soak the wood chips in water for at least 2 hours before smoking the pork.
- Remove the pork rack from the brine, rinse with cold water, and pat dry. Season lightly with ground black pepper.
- Fire up the smoker and "cold-smoke" the pork rack at about 125° for 3-4 hours, turning once. Refrigerate the smoked pork rack until thoroughly chilled. The pork should have good smoke flavor on the outside, but be nearly raw on the inside.
- Cut the pork rack into 8 pork chops.
- For the andouille sweet potato hash:.
- Cook the sweet potatoes: Preheat oven to 350°. Heat 2 Tablespoons of butter in a large pan over medium-high heat. Add the diced sweet potatoes and cook, stirring constantly for 4-5 minutes.
- Season to taste with Veggie Mojo. Cook, stirring constantly, for 2-3 minutes.
- Place the sweet potatoes in the oven and cook, stirring occasionally, until they are tender, but firm (al dente), 15-20 minutes. Remove from oven and set aside.
- In a separate pan, melt 2 Tablespoons of butter over high heat. Add the diced andouille sausage and cook, stirring occasionally, until the andouille is well browned.
- Add the celery and onions. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the onions are soft and clear.
- Reduce heat to low. Add the salt, white pepper, black pepper, cayenne, savory, and thyme. Cook, stirring occasionally for 1-2 minutes.
- Add the roasted sweet potatoes and mix well. Cook until warmed through, remove from heat.
- For Chef Frank's Veggie Mojo seasoning:.
- Combine all ingredients.
- For the blueberry cane vinegar glaze:.
- Make blueberry compote: In a pot, add the blueberries, lemon juice, sugar, and vanilla.
- Cook over low heat, stirring occasionally, just until the blueberries begin to break up and form a thick, syrup-like consistency. Remove from heat and set aside to cool.
- Heat the duck fat or olive oil in a pot over high heat. Add the onions and cook, stirring occasionally, until the onions are well browned (caramelized).
- Add the reduced stock, orange zest, orange juice, 3 cups of blueberry compote, salt, and white pepper. Bring the mixture to a boil. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer for 15 minutes.
- Add the cane vinegar and purée the sauce with a hand mixer. Strain through a large-holed strainer (China cap).
- To serve:.
- About 1/2 cup mild olive oil.
- 8 cold-smoked pork chops.
- about 8 teaspoons Chef Paul Prudhomme's Meat Magic® seasoning.
- Andouille sweet potato hash.
- Blueberry cane vinegar glaze.
- Preheat oven to 500°. Season the pork chops lightly on all sides with the meat seasoning. Heat a large pan, or large skillets, over medium-high heat. Sear the pork chops on both sides, place in oven, and cook just until done, 8-10 minutes.
- Serve each pork chop with 1/2 cup of the hash and 1/4 cup of the sauce.

SMOKED PORK CHOPS
There are pork chops and then there are smoked pork chops. The rub has just the right amount of sweetness and saltiness that complements the smoky flavor perfectly. Oak is my wood of choice for these but feel free to substitute any hard wood chips.
