1. Dredge the Pork pieces in flour. Saute pork cutlets in butter until browned on the outside. Set cutlets aside
2. Sauté onion (with a pinch of salt and a pinch of baking soda) in butter used for frying pork pieces. Once fully translucent place aside with other vegetables.
3. Once the roux is ready add in the bell pepper and celery (with a pinch of salt), and sauté 2-3 minutes.
4. Add garlic, bay leaf, and creole seasoning; saute for 30 seconds before slowly adding the stock. Make sure to continue stirring constantly until the roux, vegetables, and stock are fully mixed.
5. Cover and allow to simmer for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.
6. Add to the mixture, the pork, a liberal shaking of the creole seasoning, kitchen bouquet, and a dash or 2 of tabasco.
7. Re-cover and simmer (stirring occasionally) for 45 minutes.
8. Serve over No BS Rice, OR, even better, over Cajun Rice Dressing.
