Dishes like this make it fun to be a chef🙂
I've been getting whole bone in pork loins in and cutting them here on a ban saw then marinating them in ginger, garlic, orange juice, chipotle, molasses, and brown sugar. They've been delicious and selling well but I kept thinking the dish was missing something. The other night for some crazy reason the scene from Boardwalk Empire with Chalky White at the dinner table with his family saying he wants his hoppin john made me think.... Thats it, lets make our version of hoppin john to go with the chops! So here it is Mr. White, your hoppin john with pan seared house cut pork chops!
Ill have these on the menu for a while now
House cut Molasses Chipotle Ginger Brined Pan Seared Pork Chops served over homemade hoppin john with black eyed peas, collard greens, Okra, bacon, and smoked sausage. With the sticky jasmine rice, cornbread, and homemade hot sauce im pretty proud of this one y'all 😁
