Once again I found myself with my back up against the wall insofar as having time to cook a decent meal yesterday. It had been a while since we had pork and I was in the mood for something bold and spicy. Decided to get some of these fantastic pork chops out of the freezer that I ordered not too long ago. I was introduced to this company by our good friend Jim (
JLeonard
) by way of the amazing Christmas exchange package I received from him. We went through all the goodies he sent so I put together a shopping list and placed an order. All of the stuff we have had from them is outstanding, especially these chops.
The chops
Lightly trimmed and ready for seasoning
I honestly don't remember what cut they call these but this is why I dubbed them t-bones
Cajun blackening season, baste with butter, then more seasoning. I got this multi-step technique from
TNJAKE
as a great way to get amazing flavor using the blackening season.
Sear grates on the gasser and sear burner fired up to medium so running around 800 degrees
Yep, you got it....another salad
After 7 minutes or so give them a flip
As noted, time was short so just went straight to the plated shot. Chops, salad, and some jambalaya
I have a long and documented history of over cooking pork so I watched these very closely. The chops were just too good to let that happen. Nailed it....finally. Not a very pretty pic though.
Close up. Perfect light pink
The chops were outstanding. Flavor was off the charts and Jake's recommendation about the procedure for seasoning them was spot on and outstanding Cajun flavor profile. They were super tender and had almost a creamy quality which I've never experienced with pork before. All in all a very good 20 minute meal. I cannot say enough good about the quality of the products we've gotten from Home Place Pastures. All of it has been top shelf and they will continue to get my business.These were the best overall chops I've cooked. Flavor, tenderness, and juiciness were just fantastic. Well gotta run. Need to get a couple reports into the office and head to the store to get eggplant. Somebody inspired me to make something with it this evening that I've never made before
Y'all take care and see everybody soon.
