Pork Chops & Sweet Potato Gravy

Directions

Season the pork.

In a sauté pan, heat the olive oil.

When the oil is hot, sear the chops for 5 minutes on each side.

Remove the chops from the pan and set aside.

Stir in the flour stirring constantly, for a dark brown roux, about 3 minutes.

Add the onions and sauté for 5 minutes, or until wilted.

Stir in the garlic, pecans and water. Season with salt and cayenne.

Bring the liquid up to a boil. Add the sweet potatoes and blend to make the sauce smooth.

Stir in the cane syrup and green onions.

Return the chops to the pan and reduce the heat to a simmer.

Cook for 4 to 5 minutes, basting the chops with the gravy.
