- 2 tsp Cajun Seasoning Fromhttps://www.roguechef.com/?p=3239
- 1/2 cup AP Flour
- 2 ea Pork Chops Bone in
- 3 tbsp neutral oil I also use bacon drippings for this
- 2 tbsp Butter
- Salt and Pepper to taste
Salt and pepper both sides of the pork chops
Combine the flour and cajun seasoning
Dredge the chops in the seasoned flour, and rest for 15-30 minutes to allow the flour to set.
In a heavy skillet, over medium heat, bring the fat and butter to temp; test by dropping a pinch of flour in.
Give the chops a shake to remove loose flour
Add the chops, and cook for 5 minutes on the first side, should be golden brown and delecious
Turn and cook for 5 minutes more; check the temperature, 145 is the recommended internal temperature
Serve hot with a slice of lemon, and side with fries.
Just a quick meal for two or a generous he-man dinner for one.
One can rest the chops for a few minutes after cooking to allow the juices to redistribute. And use this time to create a pan sauce for a side dish. This goes well over potatoes (mashed as well as fried) or freshly baked bread, rolls, or biscuits.
