ingredients

For the Chops
1 ¹⁄₂ teaspoons smoked paprika
¹⁄₂ teaspoon dried oregano
¹⁄₄ teaspoon onion powder
¹⁄₄ teaspoon garlic powder
¹⁄₄ teaspoon salt (I add a little more or to taste)
¹⁄₂ teaspoon fresh ground black pepper
1 pinch sugar (optional)
4 (5 ounce) pork chops, trimmed of visible fat
1 tablespoon vegetable oil, divided
For the Maque Choux
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
4 cups corn (about 6 ears)
1 cup chopped yellow onion
¹⁄₂ cup chopped red bell peppers (or comination of both) or 1/2 cup green bell pepper (or comination of both)
1 tablespoon minced jalapeno
2 teaspoons cajun seasoning
salt, to taste
¹⁄₂ cup heavy cream

directions

For the Chops: In a small bowl, combine paprika, oregano, onion powder, pinch sugar, garlic powder, salt and black pepper. Sprinkle pork with spice mixture. Heat 1 teaspoon oil in a large nonstick skillet on medium-high, tilting skillet to coat bottom lightly and cook pork for 3 to 4 minutes per side or until slightly pink in center. Transfer pork to a serving platter; cover to keep warm.
For the Maque Choux: To keep the mess down, wipe the skillet clean that the chops were cooked in or you can use different skillet. Melt the butter in a large skillet or saute pan over medium-high heat. Add the corn, onions, bell peppers, jalapeno, Cajun seasoning and salt; cook, stirring, until soft, for 10 minutes. Add the cream and cook for 2 minutes.
Dish the cooked chops with a serving of maque choux on the side.
