Ingredients:

  1. 2 tablespoons - molasses
  2. 1 tablespoons - bourbon OR apple juice
  3. 1 tablespoons - Dijon mustard
  4. 4 - bone-in pork chops, 1/2-3/4 inch thick trimmed
  5. 3/4 teaspoons - salt divided
  6. 3/4 teaspoons - ground pepper divided
  7. 2 tablespoons - extra-virgin olive oil divided
  8. 1 - large green bell pepper diced
  9. 1 - large onion diced
  10. 3 cloves - garlic minced
  11. 1 cans - 15 oz. black-eyed peas rinsed
  12. 3/4 teaspoons - smoked paprika
  13. 1/2 teaspoons - dried thyme

Directions:

1. Combine molasses, bourbon (or apple juice) and mustard in a small bowl. Season pork chops with 1/2 teaspoon each of salt and pepper; then brush with half the molasses glaze.

2. Position rack in upper third of oven; pre-heat broiler to high.

3. Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a large cast-iron skillet or other broiler-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Add the pork chops and cook until golden brown, 2-3 minutes per side. Transfer to a plate.

4. Add the remaining 1 tablespoon oil to the pan. Add bell pepper, onion and garlic; cook, stirring occasionally, until vegetables start to soften, about 4 minutes. Add black-eyed peas, paprika, thyme and the remaining 1/4 teaspoon each of salt and pepper. Cook for 2 minutes.

5. Place the pork chops on top of the peas and pour in any accumulated juice. Brush the chops with the remaining glaze. Place the pan under the broiler. Broil until an instant- read thermometer inserted into a chop registers 145 degrees F (about 2-5 minutes).
