Hubby and I made a run into the grocery store after work and before dinner and I'm so glad we did. We were both hungry, so, of course we bought more than we had planned to, but they had some pretty great deals. Picked up some fresh asparagus for $1.99 a pound! Thought that sounded like a great side for the chops I had out...and it was!
They also had deli ham on sale for $.99 a pound, so we loaded up on that. While the butcher was getting that for us, my husband commented on some Cajun turkey they had, and he, the butcher that is, asked if we liked spicy food. Um...YEAH! LOL So there was a little back and forth on that and he asked if I had any spicy recipes. Of course! So now I have to print up my gumbo recipe (given to me by a dear, dear friend who was born and raised a Cajun), my chili recipe, which is posted on here, and, if I can find it, my jambalaya recipe. I haven't made much jambalaya since I got the gumbo recipe. I just prefer the gumbo. Not that I'm complaining, because I LOVE sharing my recipes. That's why I started this blog!
So. The chops I made tonight. I was looking through some pork chop recipes to get some inspiration and nothing really sounded right, so I looked at my spices, and just threw something together that, luckily turned out wonderfully.
Sweet and
Spicy Pork Chops
4 pork chops
¼ C. brown sugar
1/8 t. cayenne
½ t. garlic powder
½ t. paprika
½ t. salt
½ t. black pepper
In
a bowl combine the brown sugar and spices (salt, pepper, cayenne, paprika and
garlic powder or whatever spice blend you like).
Rub
the brown sugar/spice mix all over both sides of the chops. Use all of the
spice mix.
Place
the pork chops in a large skillet, over medium-high heat. Cook the chops for about 10 minutes on each
side or until they are nicely browned and cooked through.
