Yield: 4 Servings

15 10 25

Ingredients

4 bone-in pork loin chops (8 ounces each)
2 teaspoons plus 1/8 teaspoon Creole seasoning, divided
2 tablespoons canola oil
2 cans (14-1/2 ounces each) diced tomatoes with mild green chilies, undrained
1 can (15-1/2 ounces) black-eyed peas, rinsed and drained
Shredded cheddar cheese, optional

Directions

Sprinkle pork chops with 2 teaspoons Creole seasoning. In a large skillet, brown pork chops in oil. Remove and keep warm.
Drain one can tomatoes; discard liquid. Add tomatoes to skillet with the remaining can of undrained tomatoes, black-eyed peas and remaining Creole seasoning, stirring to loosen browned bits from pan.
Bring to a boil and return chops to pan. Reduce heat; simmer, uncovered, for 2-4 minutes or until a thermometer reads 145°. Sprinkle with cheese if desired. Let stand for 5 minutes. Yield: 4 servings.

Editor's Note: The following spices may be substituted for 1 teaspoon Creole seasoning: 1/4 teaspoon each salt, garlic powder and paprika; and a pinch each of dried thyme, ground cumin and cayenne pepper.
