1 Prepare Jalapeno
Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Rinse, core, and cut jalapeño into medium dice.
-
2 Cook Grits
Heat 1/2 tsp. olive oil in a small pot. Add jalapeño and cook for 1 minute. Add 2 cups water and vegetable base and bring to a boil. Slowly whisk in grits. Lower to a simmer, cover, and cook for 5-7 minutes or until creamy. Remove from heat and whisk in cheese. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper.

3 Cook Pork Chops
While grits are cooking, rinse pork chops and pat dry. Season both sides with cajun seasoning and a pinch of salt and pepper. Warm 1 tsp. olive oil in a medium pan over medium heat. Cook pork for 5 minutes per side, or until a minimum internal temperature of 145 degrees is reached.

4 Prepare Gravy
Melt butter in a small pan. Once melted, whisk in flour and cook for about 2 minutes while constantly whisking, then add white wine and cook for an additional minute. Add milk and cook until gravy reaches desired thickness. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper. Set aside.

5 Warm Biscuits
Cut biscuits in half. Place biscuit halves on baking sheet and warm in the oven for 5 minutes.
