Ingredients:

Directions:

  1. In a large resealable plastic bag, combine the wine, 1/4 cup of the oil, the crab boil, pepper, garlic, and bay leaf. Add the pork chops and marinate, refrigerated, turning occasionally, for 2 to 4 hours.
  2. In a clean, large plastic bag, combine the bread crumbs, masa harina, Parmesan, and Essence. Shake to mix.
  3. Remove the pork chops from the marinade and shake to remove any excess. One at a time, add the chops to the dry mixture and shake until evenly coated. Remove, place on a large plate, and refrigerate for 15 minutes.
  4. In a large skillet or saute pan, heat the remaining 1/3 cup of oil over medium-high heat. Add the chops and cook until golden brown and cooked through, 5 to 6 minutes per side.
  5. Remove from the pan and serve immediately on top of slices of the Cheesy Potatoes au Gratin, with Bacon-Smothered Green Beans on the side.
  6. Essence (Emeril’s Creole Seasoning):
  7. 2 1/2 tablespoons paprika
  8. 2 tablespoons salt
  9. 2 tablespoons garlic powder
  10. 1 tablespoon black pepper
  11. 1 tablespoon onion powder
  12. 1 tablespoon cayenne pepper
  13. 1 tablespoon dried leaf oregano
  14. 1 tablespoon dried thyme
  15. Combine all ingredients thoroughly and store in an airtight jar or container.
  16. Yields: about 2/3 cup
  17. Recipe from New Orleans Cooking by Emeril Lagasse and Jessie Tirsch, Published by William and Morrow, 1993.
  18. Cheesy Potatoes au Gratin:
  19. 2 pounds Idaho potatoes, peeled and thinly sliced
  20. Salt
  21. Freshly ground black pepper
  22. 8 ounces Cheddar, grated
  23. 1 1/2 cups heavy cream
  24. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Lightly grease a medium gratin dish with butter.
  25. Cover the bottom of the pan with an overlapping layer of potatoes. Lightly season with salt and pepper and top with a sprinkling of cheese (about 2 tablespoons). Continue layering potatoes, seasoning, and cheese, ending with the remaining cheese on top. Pour the cream over the potatoes, pressing lightly with your hands to cover the potatoes with cream. Cover with aluminum foil and bake until the cheese is absorbed into the potatoes and the potatoes are tender when pierced with a knife, about 50 minutes. Remove the foil and bake until the mixture is bubbly and the top is golden brown, about 10 minutes.
  26. Remove from the oven and let rest 10 minutes before cutting into portions.
  27. Yield: 4 servings
  28. Bacon Smothered Green Beans:
  29. 1 1/2 pounds small, thin green beans, ends trimmed
  30. 1/2 pound bacon, chopped
  31. 1 cup minced shallots
  32. 1 teaspoon minced garlic
  33. 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
  34. 1 cup chicken stock or canned, low-sodium chicken broth
  35. 1 teaspoon salt
  36. 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  37. 1/2 teaspoon sherry wine vinegar
  38. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the beans and cook until tender, 2 to 3 minutes. Drain in a colander and transfer to an ice bath. Drain well.
  39. Fry the bacon in a large skillet and cook, stirring, over medium-high heat until crisp and golden, 5 minutes. Add the shallots and garlic, and cook, stirring, for 2 minutes. Add the flour and cook, stirring constantly, for 2 minutes. Add the stock, salt, pepper, and vinegar, and cook, stirring, until thickened, 4 to 5 minutes. Add the green beans and cook until warmed through, about 2 minutes.
  40. Remove from the heat and serve.
