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 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

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 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 :emoji_laughing:

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.

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 :emoji_wink: Y'all take care and see everybody soon.

Wow! That is a perfect pork chop! It’s nice to take a break from beef sometimes🤣 Excellent execution and it looks absolutely delicious! Thank you for sharing, I may have to track some down or use your Home Place Pastures. Awesome as always Robert!
 
Great looking Chops, Robert I like the blackening season, did you make that yourself? I need to remember TNJAKE TNJAKE trick for double coating. I have Tuna steaks I am wanting to do on the griddle and I love them blackened.

They only ship regionally but I can only guess that you're in their shipping area. If they ship to here, they would have to get stuff sent your way. They really do have good stuff. Don't know if you saw the Osso Bucco thread I did a while back but that came from them also.

Robert, another excellent looking cook. I'm wanting pork chops for some reason now.

Thank you Stu. I do appreciate it.

Very nice!

Thanks so much. It was a nice meal for another quickie.

Yes, it's one I make. It's pretty simple but very good. If you'd like the recipe just say so and I'll pop it out here.

That was a game changer!! It really made a HUGE difference.

Awesome looking chops. You sure nailed the perfect IT on them. Juicy!

Thanks so much Buzzy. It's about time I got some chops cooked correctly :emoji_laughing:

Heck of a nice job on those chops Robert. They look delicious. We try to eat a salad with most meals as well. Glad the blackening technique worked out for you
 
Dang that looks excellent. I'm glad that you like Home Place. We get a box of stuff from there monthly.

Man I do love a good pork chop we don’t eat them meaty often enough for some reason. Those are done perfectly!!
 
It took me years to convince my wife that pink pork is fine. She'd char it! Fantastic looking meal Robert!
 
Looks great Robert, nice looking meal all around.

Point for sure

Robert, those are some outstanding looking chops :emoji_grinning:, I could definitely eat one of those. Love Cajun seasoning so could you tell us some more about TNJAKE TNJAKE 's seasoning method you used? When a pork chop has the tenderloin under the bone, they are called loin chops. Bone-in chops without the tenderloin are called rib chops. At least that's what we called them when I worked in the meat department at Winn Dixie way, way, way back in the day. They were always at least 10¢/lb. more for the loin chops...
