SLAP YA MAMA PORK CHOPS

You Need:
1 box (12 oz) Slap Ya Mama Cajun Fish Fry

DIRECTIONS: Soak your pork chops in the mustard to wet them. Now batter them in the Slap Ya Mama Fish Fry.

CHICKEN FRIED STEAK with WHITE GRAVY

This southern favourite is easy to make, and very pleasing at the table.
YOU NEED:
1 ½ cups milk
2 LARGE eggs
2 cups all- purpose flour
5 Teaspoons TONY CHACHERE’S Original (or Slap Ya Mama Original) blend seasoning
3 lbs. tenderized flank steak (Any tenderized cut will do)
½ cup veg oil (I use a Canola/Olive blend)
1 Tablespoon butter.

GRAVY: The best – quickest and most authentic method is to use TONY CHACHERE’S White Gravy mix according to instructions on the container. (Or if you prefer, contact us for a WHITE GRAVY recipe, made from scratch.)

DIRECTIONS: Set up an “assembly line” of dishes. Mix milk & eggs in one, the flour with the spice blend in another, and one clean plate to receive the breaded meat.
Work with one piece at a time. Place meat into flour mixture (Actually – I use a ziplock bag for this step), ensure that the meat is well coated.  Now place the meat into the Egg/Milk mixture, turning to coat well. Place it back into the flour mixture and turn to coat. Now place the breaded meat on the clean plate, and repeat the steps with the remaining meat.
Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the butter. When the butter sizzles right away – its hot enough. (Butter should not brown right away. If it does, its too hot). Cook the meat – 3 pieces at a time, until the edges start to look golden brown (about 2 minutes each side). Remove meat to a paper towel – lined plate, and keep warm under foil. Repeat until all the meat is cooked.
Serve the CHICKEN FRIED STEAK alongside mashed potatoes and green beans. Pour your WHITE GRAVY over the whole shebang!   Everyone will think they’re at the South!! Enjoy!!
