4 green onions chopped fine
4 cloves garlic sliced thin
1 tbls. vegetable oil

What you need to do
This meal is made in three steps: pork
chops, vegetables and roux. Put about 1/8" of vegetable oil
into the 12" frying pan over medium
heat. Put 1/2 cup of Tony Chachere's Creole Seasoning
in a flat baking dish and coat the
pork chops on both sides, rubbing the seasoning into the chops.
Place the pork chops in the pan. Check
the progress of the chops and turn once when brown.
Over medium heat, put 1/8" of vegetable
oil into the 8" frying pan and stir in vegetables. Sprinkle
with salt and black pepper. Stir and
turn occasionally with the spatula.
In the 6" frying pan you make the Roux.
Over medium heat, put 1 tbls. vegetable oil and stir in
slowly 1 tbls. flour, stirring with
a wooden spoon as you go. When the flour is totally disolved
and the Roux is Tan in color, remove
from heat. This should take about 5 minutes.
When the chops are done, remove them
to a bowl and cover. Strain the oil into a container. Return
the drippings to the pan and stir
in 1/2 cup of water, scraping the bottom with the spatula. Cook for
about 2 minutes then pour into 8"
pan of vegetables. Stir well. Stir in Roux and 1/2 cup of water.
Add Worcestershire Sauce, Crystal
Steak Sauce and Louisiana Hot Sauce. Stir well and cook for
2 - 3 minutes. Remove to serving bowl.
Serves 4. Serve over rice.
