Pork Chops

Parsnip Purée

Tchoupitoulas Sauce

Method

Grilling the Pork Chops

  1. 1

    Prepare the Pork Chops

    Rub the pork chops with olive oil, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Let marinate for at least 30 minutes.

  2. 2

    Grill the Pork Chops

    Preheat the grill to medium-high heat. Grill the pork chops for about 6-8 minutes on each side, or until they reach an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C). Remove from the grill and let rest for 5 minutes.

Making the Parsnip Purée

  1. 3

    Cook the Parsnips

    In a pot, add the chopped parsnips and cover with water. Bring to a boil and cook until tender, about 15-20 minutes. Drain well.

  2. 4

    Blend the Purée

    In a blender, combine the cooked parsnips, butter, heavy cream, salt, and black pepper. Blend until smooth and creamy. Adjust seasoning if necessary.

Preparing the Tchoupitoulas Sauce

  1. 5

    Sauté the Vegetables

    In a skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the onion, green bell pepper, celery, and garlic. Sauté until the vegetables are soft, about 5-7 minutes.

  2. 6

    Add Tomatoes and Seasonings

    Add the diced tomatoes, Cajun seasoning, chicken broth, salt, and black pepper. Simmer for about 15-20 minutes until thickened and flavors meld.

Plating the Dish

  1. 7

    Serve

    On a plate, place a generous scoop of parsnip purée, top with a grilled pork chop, and spoon over the Tchoupitoulas sauce. Enjoy!
