SMOTHERED PORK CHOPS AND SAUSAGE



Smothered Pork Chops and Sausage image

Saw Emeril Lagasse prepare this on FoodTV and I could practically smell it and taste it through the screen. It was as fabulous as I thought it was going to be. I think you could use the same basic sauce for chicken and shrimp dishes as well. The sauce is to die for! Adapted from recipe in "New New Orleans Cooking" by Emeril Lagasse and Jessie Tirsch.

Time 1h25m

Yield 4-8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 20

8 thinly cut pork chops (about 3 pounds cut about 1/2-inch thick)
1 teaspoon paprika
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1/2 teaspoon onion powder
1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1/2 teaspoon oregano
1/2 teaspoon thyme
1/2 cup olive oil
1/4 cup all-purpose flour, plus 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
4 cups thinly sliced onions (or more! they cook down so you hardly notice them in the sauce)
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper
1 tablespoon chopped garlic
4 bay leaves
2 (14 1/2 ounce) cans reduced-sodium chicken broth
2 1/3 cups water (1 1/2 cans if you measure in chicken broth can)
1 lb smoked sausage (I used kielbasa) or 1 lb andouille sausage, cut crosswise into 1 1/2 inch slices (I used kielbasa)
1 lb russet potato, peeled and cut into 1 inch cubes

Steps:

  • Mix ingredients for seasoning mix together in a small bowl and sprinkle generously on both sides of pork chops.
  • (Save the extra seasoning mix to add to the sauce later if you think it needs more seasoning--I tossed it out, and then wished I had a little bit more to make it a little spicier).
  • Heat the oil in a Dutch oven or large pot over medium-high heat.
  • Add the pork chops, a few at a time and cook them until they are lightly browned on both sides (about 2 minutes per side).
  • Remove the pork chops to a platter and 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 pepper.
  • Cook, stirring, until the onions are slightly soft, about 5 minutes.
  • Add the garlic, bay leaves, chicken broth and water.
  • 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, and then reduce the heat to medium-low and cook, uncovered, stirring occasionally, for 30 minutes.
  • Serve with either steamed white rice or rice pilaf.

Tips:

  • Choose the right pork chops: Look for bone-in pork chops that are at least 1 inch thick. This will help them stay juicy during cooking.
  • Season the pork chops well: Before cooking, season the pork chops with salt, pepper, and any other desired seasonings. This will help to enhance their flavor.
  • Sear the pork chops: Sear the pork chops in a hot skillet over medium-high heat for 2-3 minutes per side. This will help to create a nice crust and lock in the juices.
  • Cook the pork chops in the oven: After searing, transfer the pork chops to a baking dish and cook them in the oven at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 20-25 minutes, or until they are cooked through.
  • Make the gravy: While the pork chops are cooking, make the gravy by sautéing onions and garlic in the same skillet that you used to sear the pork chops. Then, add in the flour and cook for 1-2 minutes. Stir in the broth and milk and bring to a simmer. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  • Serve the pork chops with the gravy: Once the pork chops are cooked through, serve them immediately with the gravy. You can also garnish with fresh parsley or chives.
