Share on TwitterThis recipe is originally from Family Circle Magazine, but I got it from the Food Network web site. However, it is no longer available there.
2 tsps Cajun spice mix
4 boneless pork chopes (about 1.25lbs)
1 tbs olive oil
1 red onion, chopped
1 red bell pepper, chopped
1 can (19 oz) black beans, drained but not rinsed
8 oz corn
2 tbs barbecue sauce
Sprinkle 1tsp spice mix (I made my own of 1/4 tsp paprika, 1/4 tsp garlic powder, 1/4 tsp red pepper flakes and 1/4 tsp dried oregano) on the chops, half on each side. Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the chops and cook 3 minutes. Turn over and add the onion and pepper. Cover and cook 7 minutes or until pork is almost done.
Stir in remaining 1 tsp of seasoning mix, cook 1 minute. Add black beans, corn and barbecue sauce. Simmer for 2 to 3 minutes or until corn is heated through. Serve with rice.
I also added a little salt at the end since I made my own "cajun spice". Also used a spicy barbecue sauce. The can of black beans I had was only 15oz, but it was enought. We also used frozen corn. Everything was very good. Might use a big more spice on the chops. Very quick and easy to make.
