APPLE SAGE CORNBREAD-STUFFED PORK CHOPS FOR TWO



Apple Sage Cornbread-Stuffed Pork Chops for Two image

These pork chops are going to be a date night favorite in your household this fall. It's a warm, hearty dish that you can make together: One of you can hold the pork chop as the other stuffs it, or vice versa.

Provided by Food Network

Categories     main-dish

Time 1h15m

Yield 2 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 boneless pork chops (1 pound total)
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 garlic clove, minced
1/2 onion, diced
1/2 cup chopped green apple, such as Granny Smith
1/2 cup diced carrots
1/2 cup diced celery
1 cup crumbled cornbread
1/4 cup chicken broth or stock
4 sage leaves, coarsely chopped
Salt and ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Slice into the pork chops horizontally, but not all the way through. (You're essentially butterflying the pork chops and giving them a little pouch.) Set aside.
  • In a large skillet over medium-high heat, heat up 1 tablespoon olive oil. Add the garlic and onion and saute until fragrant and softened, about 3 minutes. Add the apple, carrots and celery and cook until softened, 7 to 10 minutes.
  • Add in the cornbread, chicken broth and sage leaves, and stir to incorporate. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Remove the skillet from the heat and let the filling cool for 10 minutes.
  • Carefully spoon the filling into the pork chops. If they become full and you can no longer stuff anymore, that's ok-save the filling to eat on the side. Use toothpicks to secure the chops shut. If the toothpicks poke out, use scissors to trim them flush to the pork chops.
  • In the same skillet you used earlier, heat up the remaining tablespoon olive oil. Sear the pork chops, 3 to 5 minutes per side. Turn the heat down to medium and continue cooking, flipping occasionally, until the pork chops have cooked through completely, 15 to 20 minutes. Serve warm with the additional cornbread stuffing!

This is a delicious way to eat pork that looks like it took much more work to make than it actually did. I got the recipe from a Grandma's Kitchen cookbook and thought I'd share here. I personally don't like cinnamon so I left it out and just used regular apple pie filling.

Tips:

  • Choose the right pork chops: Look for chops that are at least 1-inch thick and have a good amount of marbling. This will help them stay juicy and flavorful during cooking.
  • Brine the pork chops: Brining the pork chops in a mixture of water, salt, and sugar will help them retain moisture and flavor. You can brine the pork chops for as little as 30 minutes or up to overnight.
  • Use a flavorful stuffing: The stuffing is what really makes these pork chops special. Use a stuffing that is packed with flavor, such as the apple-sage stuffing in this recipe.
  • Cook the pork chops properly: Pork chops should be cooked to an internal temperature of 145 degrees Fahrenheit. This will ensure that they are cooked through but still juicy.
  • Let the pork chops rest before serving: Letting the pork chops rest for a few minutes before serving will allow the juices to redistribute throughout the meat, resulting in more tender and flavorful chops.

Conclusion:

Pork chops with apple-sage stuffing are a delicious and easy-to-make meal that is perfect for a weeknight dinner. The pork chops are juicy and flavorful, and the stuffing is packed with flavor. This dish is sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
