Ingredients

8 thinly cut (about ½-inch thick) bone-in pork chops (about 3 pounds total)

2 teaspoons Emeril’s Original Essence, (recipe follows if you don’t have any)

½ cup olive oil

¼ cup plus 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour

4 cups thinly sliced onions

½ teaspoon salt

½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

1 tablespoon chopped garlic

4 bay leaves

3½ cups chicken stock

¾ cup plus 2 tablespoons water (I substituted vegetable broth)

1 pound smoked sausage or andouille, cut crosswise into 1-inch slices

1 pound russet potatoes, peeled and cut into 1-inch cubes

Steamed white rice or rice pilaf, for serving

Directions

Season both sides of the chops with the Essence (I season them liberally).

Heat the olive oil in a large, heavy pot or Dutch oven over high heat. Add the pork chops, 3 or 4 at a time, and lightly brown, about 2 minutes per side. Remove the pork chops and transfer to a platter. Set aside.

Reduce the heat to medium. Add the flour and stir constantly until the roux is the color of peanut butter, about 4 minutes. Add the onions, salt, and black pepper. Cook, stirring, until the onions are slightly soft, about 5 minutes. Add the garlic, bay leaves, chicken stock, and water and bring to a boil. Return the pork chops to the pot. Reduce the heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer for 45 minutes.

Add the smoked sausage and the potatoes. Bring to a boil; reduce the heat to medium-low, and cook, uncovered, stirring occasionally, for 30 minutes. Remove the bay leaves. Remove from the heat. Serve with either steamed white rice or rice pilaf.

Emeril’s Original Essence:

2 1/2 tablespoons paprika

2 tablespoons salt

2 tablespoons garlic powder

1 tablespoon black pepper

1 tablespoon onion powder

1 tablespoon cayenne pepper

1 tablespoon dried oregano

1 tablespoon dried thyme

Combine all ingredients thoroughly.

No cook should be without a batch of Emeril's Essence! I thought I had all of Emeril's recipes, but I'm not sure I've got this one! Sounds delish!!
