EASTERN EUROPEAN STUFFED PORK CHOPS image

I fell in love with this picture and had to know more. The recipe is to die for but since it contained a large quantity of mushrooms--which I can't stand--I tweaked it a bit. I'm thinking serve this with mashed potatoes and pork gravy. Recipe & Photo: About.com

Categories     Steaks and Chops

Time 1h

Number Of Ingredients 8

4 pork chops, trimmed of excess fat, 1- to 1-1/2 inch thick
1 large onion, finely chopped
2 stalk(s) celery, finely chopped
1 large green pepper, finely chopped
1 stick butter
1 large handful flat-leaf parsley, chopped
1/2 to 1 c toasted bread crumbs (not cubes)
salt and pepper

Steps:

  • 1. In a large skillet, melt butter and saute onion, celery, and pepper until cooked and most of the juices have evaporated. Add parsley and bread crumbs and mix well. Let cool.
  • 2. Meanwhile, wash and pat dry chops. Using a boning knife, make a 1-inch slit in the center of each side. Using the knife, widen the pocket but leave the opening only 1-inch wide.
  • 3. Stuff the pork chops until they are nice and plump. You will probably have leftover stuffing. Season both sides of chops with salt and pepper and sear in a nonstick pan until nicely browned.
  • 4. Place chops in a shallow baking dish and surround with any leftover stuffing. Add 1/4 cup water or stock and bake, uncovered, in a preheated 375-degree oven for 30 to 35 minutes, or until internal temperature registers 150 degrees. Serve with pan juices, if desired. If you want a slightly European meal, serve with sauerkraut and apples.
