4 thick pork chops -- (8 ounces each)
Essence
Olive oil
2 tablespoons flour
2 cups julienned onions
1 tablespoon minced garlic
1/2 cup pecan pieces
2 cups water

3 tablespoons Steen's Pure Cane Syrup

Season the pork with Essence. In a saute 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 saute 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

basting the chops with the gravy.
