STUFFED PORK CHOPS WITH APRICOT GLAZE
Thick pork chops are stuffed with a mixture of acini de pepe, dried apricots and celery and grilled. The pork chops are basted with a glaze made up of honey, dijon mustard and apricot preserves giving it a delectable sweet flavor. Leftover stuffing is also cooked on the grill as a side dish. I diced up a small piece of crystalized ginger instead of the ground ginger.
