Pan-Grilled Pork Chops – Couldn’t Be Simpler

These Pan-Grilled Pork Chops are so easy to make and sooo very tender. What a delicious supper! This couldn’t be simpler!

 

The pork chops are perfect and moist!

The recipe is also very versatile. You can use different seasonings to suit your family’s taste. It’s the cooking method itself that yields a beautiful moist pork chop.

Try some mushrooms. I think they would be delicious with the sauce.

Be sure to follow the important steps of letting the chops rest with the salt and seasoning before cooking, then browning each side slowly, followed by a covered “rest”.

Marinated Pork Tenderloin – Easy and Delicious!

Excellent Marinated Pork Tenderloin recipe. Easy to prepare and the finished dish is awesome! The most fantastic recipe for pork tenderloin I’ve tried.

Moist and tender and the flavor is outstanding.

I let the pork marinate for 2 1/2 days and broiled it in the oven for weekend guests. The marinade formed a tasty crust.

Needless to say I didn’t have any leftovers.

A keeper in my house.

Spicy Grilled Catfish Filets – Really Tasty

Mmmm, yummy, and Spicy Grilled Catfish Filets! I have a hard time getting my family to eat fish, but they loved this one!

 

This is a really tasty, economical, and different way to enjoy fish!

Lots of flavor from the marinade and easy cleanup! Winners in my book.

This is best marinated for at least an hour but no more than 2 hours. In a pinch, just let it marinate while the grill is heating.

I am sure this would work very well on any firm, mild fish.

When I made this I was a little crunched in the time department so I only got to marinate it for 1 hour and it was delicious. Plan ahead!

You can use a cast-iron skillet instead of your grill on a rainy day.

  • 1 ⁄4 cup lemon juice
  • 1 ⁄4 cup vegetable oil
  • 2 tablespoons low sodium soy sauce
  • 2 tablespoons fresh ginger finely chopped or 2 teaspoons ground ginger
  • 6 garlic cloves finely chopped, about 1 Tbsp

  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1 ⁄2 teaspoon cayenne pepper adjust to taste
Garnish
  • lemon wedge optional
  • parsley chopped (optional)
Instructions
Directions
  1. Combine lemon juice, soy sauce, vegetable oil, ginger, garlic, green onions, minced onion, paprika and cayenne pepper and stir to mix well.
  2. Place fish in a zipper seal bag and pour liquid mixture over it. Seal and marinate in the refrigerate for about 1 to 2 hours.
  3. Oil grill grate or fish basket really well and preheat grill to medium high. Grill fish for 4 minutes on each side. Flip the fish only once and brush with reserved marinade when flipped.
Recipe Notes

NOTE: Fish is completely cooked when the color turns from translucent to opaque (white) or has reached a 150 degree F internal temperature. Resist the temptation to over-cook fish until it "flakes," which indicates the fish is becoming dry.

Crockpot Red Beans & Rice – Crescent City Style

Crockpot Red Beans & Rice is Great Stuff! The family can’t get enough of this and I can’t get over just how easy it is!

 

Just the right dish for easy overnight and morning prep, long slow cooking while we were at work/school, and simple finishes before dinner.

Mom and Pop restaurants in New Orleans always serve Red Beans & Rice on Monday. Always!

This is a take on the restaurant version changed a bit to reflect the fact that I use my crockpot now. I hope you enjoy these yummy beans as much as I do.

Serve over hot, fluffy white rice and a warm piece of buttered and grilled French bread with a side salad or bowl of coleslaw.

Sweet iced tea rounds this awesome southern dish off quite nicely.

Crock Pot Red Beans & Rice that could be from the heart of the Crescent City. Delicious!

Course: Main Course
Cuisine: Creole
Keyword: Crock Pot Red Beans & Rice
Servings: 6
Ingredients
Ingredients
  • 1 lb dried kidney beans I prefer the pink ones to the dark red ones
  • 1 ham hock optional
  • 4 garlic cloves chopped
  • 1 teaspoon black pepper fresh ground
  • 1 tablespoon chicken stock powdered
  • 1 teaspoon garlic salt
  • 1 teaspoon dried chipotle powder I use one Knorr mini cube (optional)
  • 1 teaspoon liquid smoke optional
  • 2 -3 bay leaves
  • 1 onion chopped
  • 1 bell pepper chopped
  • 1 tablespoon butter
  • 1 -2 tablespoon salt according to your taste
  • 1 -2 teaspoon Cajun seasoning Tony Cacheres and Zatarains brand are both very good
  • 1 ⁄4 cup butter
  • 1 teaspoon Tabasco sauce Chipotle flavored is really nice
  • 2 tablespoons cornstarch or 2 tablespoons cornflour
  • 1 lb smoked sausage
Instructions
Directions
  1. These directions are long because I am covering the method quite thoroughly for new-comers.
  2. SOAK BEANS: On Sunday night (or the night before you want to eat these yummy beans), check beans to be sure there are no stones then place beans in a large bowl and fill almost to the top with water. It's better to have too much water than not enough. The beans will more than double in size overnight. In the morning, I drain beans in a colander and rinse well.
  3. A FEW PERSONAL TRICKS: One of the first things I do in the morning is fill my Crockpot with hot tap water just to bring it up to temperature much faster. This saves on cooking time and electricity. I also fill and boil my electric jug (or kettl- this is the water I will use to cook my beans.
  4. PLACE IN CROCKPOT: Beans, ham hock, black pepper, chicken stock powder, chopped garlic, garlic salt, bay leaves, and optional Chipotle powder and liquid smoke. Note: Save adding salt until the end of cook time.
  5. COVER WITH HOT WATER: Cover beans with hot water from your jug or kettle just until fully covered. Then add an extra inch of water on top of that. This will give your beans a chance to swell even more during cooking. Cover Crockpot with lid.
  6. QUICKLY: Sauté onions and bell-pepper just until they begin to cook. Add these to the beans and stir.
  7. COOK: If you are going to be gone all day, cook beans on low setting for 6 to 8 hours. If you will be around to stir, etc., I recommend cooking them on high until they are almost fully cooked (about 4 or 5 hours). Then turn them down to low for the last bit of cooking.
  8. ONCE COOKED: When beans are fully cooked, remove bay leaves (if you can find them aladd butter and stir. To thicken beans, add 2 tablespoons corn flour mixed with just enough cold water to dissolve it. Add this to beans and stir for a minute. Beans should thicken a bit in fairly short order. Repeat until you get the desired consistency.
  9. ADD: Add salt by half-teaspoon until you reach the level of your liking. It may not take much for you. Also add a bit more fresh ground pepper.
  10. NOW: Put your rice on to cook. Slice smoked sausage and cook in a medium-hot cast iron skillet until nicely brown and starting to emit those nice juices. Take skillet off heat but leave sausages where they are. Don't cover.
  11. RINSE your rice with hot water. Once drained, place about half a cup of hot fluffy rice in a wide, shallow bowl.
  12. COVER rice with a generous amount of red beans. Top with a good amount of hot smoked sausage slices.
  13. SPRINKLE with hot sauce and/or more Tony's if you want it spicy like I do.
  14. SERVE with hot buttered, grilled slices of French bread, salad or coleslaw, and a big glass of iced tea.

I tripled the recipe for a family cookout. The ribs were gone in the first 15 minutes! They never want to go out for bbq anymore.

But why go out when we can make the best ribs at home?

Thumbs up! The sauce was just as nice two days later.
