STUFFED PORK CHOPS I



Stuffed Pork Chops I image

I got this recipe from a friend and it is awesome! When I want comfort food, this is the one that I turn to. My husband loves it too! We love the stuffing so much I usually double the recipe for the bread crumb mixture, leave everything else the same. For the bread cubes, French bread works best, not sourdough.

PEPPER PORK CHOPS



Pepper Pork Chops image

Alton Brown brines his pepper pork chops for a best-of-both-worlds result: juicy meat with plenty of flavor. He adds a pound of ice to quick-cool the brine so the pork doesn't have to wait around any longer than necessary.

Provided by Alton Brown

Time 14h20m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

2 cups vegetable broth
1/2 cup plus 2 teaspoons kosher salt
1/2 cup light brown sugar
2 tablespoons black peppercorns, slightly crushed
1 pound ice (about 4 cups)
Four 1 to 1 1/2-inch-thick bone-in pork chops
3 ounces dried apple slices
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 large onion, julienned
1 1/2 cups chicken broth
1 tablespoon coarsely ground black pepper
1 teaspoon dried thyme

Steps:

  • Combine the vegetable broth, 1/2 cup kosher salt, brown sugar and peppercorns in a medium saucepan and set over medium-high heat. Cook just until the salt and sugar dissolve, and then remove from the heat and add the ice. Place the pork chops into a 2-gallon zip-top bag along with the brine and seal. Place in a plastic container and refrigerate overnight.
  • Remove the chops from the brine, rinse and pat dry. Sprinkle on both sides with the remaining 2 teaspoons kosher salt and set aside.
  • Place the apples in a 5 1/2- to 6-quart slow cooker.
  • Heat 1 1/2 tablespoons of the olive oil in a 12-inch stainless steel saute pan over medium-high heat. Saute the pork chops on both sides until golden brown, 5 to 6 minutes per side. Once browned, place the pork chops into the slow cooker atop the apples. Add the remaining 1/2 tablespoon olive oil to the pan, followed by the onions, and saute until they begin to brown, 3 to 4 minutes. Add the chicken broth to the pan to deglaze. Add the black pepper and thyme and stir to combine. Transfer this to the slow cooker, set to high, cover and cook for 1 1/2 hours. Decrease the heat to low and continue cooking until the pork is tender and falling away from the bone, another 4 hours and 30 minutes.

Categories     main-dish

Time 1h50m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

3 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 medium onion, finely chopped
1/2 cup breadcrumbs
Pinch salt
Pinch pepper
Pinch garlic powder
1 large egg, lightly beaten
2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
4 bone-in pork chops, about 1 1/2-inch thick
1 cup all-purpose flour
1/4 cup vegetable oil

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F.
  • Melt the butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the onions and saute until translucent, about 7 minutes. Remove the pan from the heat and stir in the breadcrumbs, salt, pepper and garlic powder. Stir in the beaten egg and parsley.
  • To cut pockets into the pork chops, insert the point of a small sharp knife horizontally into the fat-covered edge. Move the knife back and forth to create a deep pocket about 1 1/2 inches wide.
  • Fill the pocket of each chop with the breadcrumb mixture. Secure the openings with toothpicks.
  • Place the flour in a shallow bowl. Dredge the stuffed chops lightly in the flour, shaking off the excess. Wipe out the skillet used previously for the stuffing and place it over medium-high heat. Add the oil and, when hot, add the chops. Sear over medium heat until lightly browned, about 3 minutes per side.
  • Place a rack in a roasting or baking pan and add water, being careful not to cover the rack with water. Place the chops on the rack and cover the roaster with the lid or aluminum foil. Bake the chops for 1 hour. Let rest, remove the toothpicks and serve.

Pork Chops Stuffed With Cheddar Cheese and Poblano Peppers image

Brined and stuffed boneless chops. A cast-iron skillet recipe by "Cooking for Geeks: Real Science, Great Hacks, and Good Food", Jeff Potter.

Provided by gailanng

Categories     Pork

Time 1h40m

Yield 2-4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 -4 boneless pork chops
1 poblano pepper, roasted then diced to equal 1/4 cup
1/4 cup cheddar cheese or 1/4 cup monterey jack cheese, cut into small cubes
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon freshly grated black pepper
vegetable oil
4 cups water
2 tablespoons salt

Steps:

  • In a container, mix 2 tablespoons salt with 4 cups cold water. Stir to dissolve salt. (The brine and chops can be placed in a Ziploc bag, removing air to completely submerge chops.) Place pork chops in the brine and refrigerate for an hour. Then remove them from the brine and pat dry with paper towels. Lay out the chops on a clean plate to allow them to come to room temperature.
  • Using a small knife, make a small incision in the side of the chop, pushing the blade into the center of the chop and moving the blade side to side to create a pocket while keeping the "mouth" as small as possible.
  • Create a filling by combining the poblano, cheese, salt and pepper. Stuff about a tablespoon of filling into each pork chop. Rub the outside of the chops with oil and season with salt and pepper.
  • Heat a cast-iron skillet over medium heat to the point where a droplet of water skitters around the pan. Place chops in the pan, cook about 5 minutes per side. The internal temperature should register about 145 degrees. Remove chops from the pan and allow them to rest for 5 minutes. Good served with rosemary mashed potatoes.

Tips:

  • Choose the right pork chops: Look for pork chops that are at least 1 inch thick and have a good amount of marbling. This will help ensure that they stay juicy and flavorful during cooking.
  • Make sure the stuffing is well-seasoned: The stuffing is what really gives these pork chops their flavor, so make sure it's well-seasoned with herbs, spices, and vegetables.
  • Use a meat thermometer to cook the pork chops to the proper temperature: The internal temperature of the pork chops should reach 145 degrees Fahrenheit for medium-rare, 150 degrees Fahrenheit for medium, and 155 degrees Fahrenheit for well-done.
  • Let the pork chops rest before serving: This will allow the juices to redistribute throughout the meat, resulting in a more tender and flavorful pork chop.
