Directions: |
Directions:Season the oysters with Essence. Chop oysters (add just a hint of liquid smoke). Set aside. Preheat the oven to 400º. In a large saute pan, over medium heat, add 1 T. of the vegetable oil. When the oil is hot, add the onions, bell peppers, and celery. Saute for about 5 minutes or until the vegetables are wilted. Season with salt and pepper. Stir in the garlic. Add the cornbread, stock, and reserved oyster liquid and mix well. Season with salt and cayenne. Cook, stirring for the 2 to 3 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in the oysters and parsley. Cool the dressing. Make 1 1/2 to 2 inch slit in the side of each pork chop. Season the entire chop with Essence. Stuff each pork chop with a good amount of the stuffing, about 1/2 to 3/4 cup. The chop will be very full. In a large saute pan, heat the remaining oil. When the oil is hot, carefully lay the chops in the pan. Sear the chops for about 3 minutes on each side. Flip the chops over and continue to sear for 4 minutes. Remove the chops from the heat and place in the oven. Roast the chops for about 6 -8 minutes for medium. In a small saute pan, over medium heat, brown the sausage. Remove and drain on paper towels. Set aside. Remove the chops from pan and allow to rest for a couple of minutes before serving. To serve, spoon the greens in the center of each plate. Place the chops on top of the greens. Gold the sausage into the Hollandaise Sauce. Spoon the sauce over each chop. Garnish green onions.
