Number Of Ingredients 14

3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 onion, finely chopped
3 garlic cloves, minced
1 celery stalk, finely chopped
1 carrot, finely chopped
4 ounces andouille or other spicy sausage, finely chopped
3 ounces pecans, finely chopped
2 tablespoons bread crumbs
2 teaspoons chopped fresh thyme
2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley
1 1/2 teaspoons coarse salt
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
Pinch of cayenne pepper
6 one-inch-thick pork rib chops

Steps:

  • Heat 2 tablespoons olive oil in a large saute pan over medium heat. Add the onion and garlic, and cook until they begin to soften, about 3 minutes. Add the celery and carrot, and cook until tender, about 3 minutes. Add the sausage, and cook until lightly browned, about 5 minutes. Transfer to a bowl, and stir in the pecans, bread crumbs, thyme, parsley, salt, black pepper, and cayenne; set aside to cool.
  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees. With a sharp paring knife, make a horizontal incision along side of each chop; cut a deep, wide pocket in the chop. Fill the pork chops with stuffing; gently press pork chops to pack and secure stuffing.
  • Heat the remaining tablespoon olive oil in a large, heavy, ovenproof skillet (preferably cast iron) over medium-high heat until just starting to smoke. Saute the pork chops, in batches if necessary, until browned, about 2 minutes per side. Transfer the pork chops to a roasting pan large enough to hold all of them; bake until cooked through, about 20 minutes.
