A flavorful twist on classic Creole pork chops, featuring a rich and aromatic sauce.
Combine the salt, dried basil, smoked paprika, ground black pepper, ground cumin, and cayenne pepper in a small bowl.
Mixing the spices thoroughly ensures an even distribution of flavors.
Rub the seasoning mix evenly over both sides of the pork chops.
Let the seasoned pork chops rest for a few minutes to absorb the flavors.
Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add a drizzle of oil. Sear the pork chops on both sides until golden brown.
Ensure the skillet is hot before adding the pork chops to achieve a good sear.
Chop the onion, green pepper, celery, and garlic.
Cut the vegetables into uniform sizes for even cooking.
Add the chopped vegetables to the skillet and sauté until softened.
Stir frequently to prevent the vegetables from sticking to the skillet.
Pour in the tomato sauce and Worcestershire sauce, stirring to combine.
Scrape the bottom of the skillet to incorporate any browned bits into the sauce.
Return the pork chops to the skillet, cover, and simmer for 15-20 minutes until the pork is tender.
Check the pork chops occasionally to ensure they don't overcook.
Serve the pork chops with the sauce spooned over the top.
Garnish with fresh parsley for a pop of color and added flavor.
