    Directions

    1. Prepare the smoker. Season the oysters with Essence. Cool smoke the oysters for 4 to 6 min, or possibly till the edges start to curl. (Cool smoke means which the temperature for the smoker stays between 80 degrees F to 85 degrees F. The oysters are not cooked, just flavored.) Remove from the smoker and roughly chop. Set aside. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. In a large saute/fry pan, over medium heat, add in 1 Tbsp. of vegetable oil. When the oil is warm, add in the onions, bell peppers, and celery. Saute/fry for about 5 min or possibly till the vegetables are wilted. Season with salt and pepper.
    2. Stir in the garlic. Add in the cornbread, stock and reserved oyster liquid and mix well. Season with salt and cayenne. Cook, stirring, for about 2 to 3 min. Remove from heat and stir in the oysters and parsley. Cold the dressing. Make a 1 1/2 to 2-inch slit on the side of the 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 c.. The chop ill be very full. In a large saute/fry pan, heat the remaining oil. When the oil is warm, carefully lay the chops in the pan. Sear the chops for about 3 min on one side. Flip the chops over and continue to sear for 4 min. Remove the chops from the heat and place in the oven. Roast the chops for about 6 to 8 min for medium. In a small saute/fry 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 min before serving. To serve, spoon the greens in the center of each plate. Place the chops on top of the greens. Fold the sausage into the Hollandaise Sauce. Spoon the sauce over each chop. Garnish with green onions.

    5. Season the mix with salt, pepper and healthy pinch of cayenne. Add in the shallots and garlic and cook for 2 min.
    6. Stir in the beer, vinegar, and molasses. Stir in the greens, a third at a time, pressing the greens down as they start to wilt. Cook the greens, uncovered for about 1 hour and 15 min. Mound the greens in the center of the platter. Arrange the chops around the greens. Spoon the sauce over the top.
