Steps:
- Take the pork chops out of the refrigerator and season on both sides with salt - we use just less than 1/4 teaspoon of fine salt per pork chop. Set the chops aside to rest for 30 minutes.
- Meanwhile, make the spice rub. In a small bowl, mix the flour, chili powder, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, and 1/2 teaspoon of black pepper.
- After 30 minutes, use a paper towel to pat the pork chops dry, then rub both sides of the chops with the spice rub.
- Heat the oil in a skillet (with a lid) over medium-high heat. When the oil is hot and looks shimmery, add the pork. Cook until golden, 2 to 3 minutes.
- Flip the pork so that the seared side is facing up. If there is a fattier side of the pork, use kitchen tongs to hold the chops, fat-side-down until it sizzles and browns slightly; about 30 seconds.
- Reduce the heat to low, then cover the skillet with a lid. Cook 6 to 12 minutes or until an instant-read thermometer reads 145° F when inserted into the thickest part of the chop. Cook time depends on the thickness of the chops, so check for doneness at 5 minutes, then go from there, checking every 2 minutes after that. If you do not have a thermometer, you will know they are done, if, when cutting into the chops, the juices run clear.
- Transfer pork chops to a plate, then cover loosely with aluminum foil. Let the pork rest for 5 minutes.
- While the pork rests, make the pan sauce. Increase the heat to medium-high, then add the chicken stock, vinegar, and honey. Use a wooden spoon to scrape the bottom of the pan so that any stuck bits of pork come up.
- Bring the sauce to a simmer and cook until reduced by half. Taste, then adjust the seasoning with additional salt, vinegar, or honey.
- Slide the skillet off of the heat and when the sauce is no longer simmering, swirl in the butter.
- Slide the pork chops back into the pan and spoon some of the sauce on top. Alternatively, slice the chops, then place them back into the pan. Scatter fresh parsley over the pork, and then serve.

HARVEST STUFFED PORK CHOPS
The savoury sour cream sauce makes this dish ... yummy! Depending on the size of your chops, the servings may vary from 6-8. Can't fit all of the stuffing? The size of your chops may not accomodate all of the stuffing, but extra stuffing makes a great side for another meal --- see the note in the recipe for details.

Steps:
- Slice each pork chop open so that it forms a pouch.
- Rub salt and pepper generously into the meat.
- Cut the rolls into small cubes and brown them in butter; put the browned cubes in a bowl.
- Add raisins, chopped apples, quartered prunes, finely chopped parsley, and the egg to the croutons and mix well.
- Add cardamom, 1/2 tsp salt and 1/2 tsp pepper and stir.
- Divide the stuffing among the pork chops, filling each pouch.
- Note: If you have too much stuffing for the chops, spoon it into a buttered baking dish reserve it as a side dish for another meal.
- To serve-- bake for 30 minutes in a 350 degree F oven; this is great served with chicken or pork as a side dish.
- Either lace the chops shut with kitchen twine and a kitchen needle, or use toothpicks to hold the stuffed chops together.
- Melt the butter in a large skillet and sear the stuffed chops over high heat until nicely browned on both sides.
- Add 1 1/2 cups of water to the pan, reduce the heat to low, cover and let simmer for 1 1/2 to 1 3/4 hours.
- Remove the chops to a heated platter.
- If pan juices have boiled down, add 1/2 cup of hot water to the pan and deglaze the bottom.
- If pan juices have not boiled down, turn heat to medium high and reduce until only about 1/2 cup of liquid remains.
- Stir in the sour cream and flour and thicken the sauce over medium heat for 5- 10 minutes.
- Taste the sauce and add salt and pepper if necessary.
- Spoon a generous amount of sauce onto each serving plate and top with a stuffed chop.

Tips:
- Use a meat mallet to tenderize the pork chops before cooking. This will help them cook more evenly and prevent them from becoming tough.
- Season the pork chops with salt, pepper, and garlic powder before cooking. This will help them develop a flavorful crust.
- Cook the pork chops over medium heat until they are cooked through. Overcooking will make them dry and tough.
