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.

3 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 medium onion, finely chopped

PEACH-STUFFED PORK CHOPS



Peach-Stuffed Pork Chops image

I'm gonna show you my favorite technique for stuffing pork chops, as well as one of my favorite stuffings for pork. Above and beyond producing something that's visually impressive, we are also flavoring our pork chops from the inside out with this method. So, this is basically a technique video and will work no matter what stuffing you decide to use--although this peach stuffing was absolutely delicious.

Provided by Chef John

Categories     Main Dish Recipes     Pork     Pork Chop Recipes     Stuffed

Time 1h10m

Yield 2

Number Of Ingredients 16

2 slices bacon, sliced into 1/4-inch pieces
½ cup diced onion
2 tablespoons diced poblano pepper
1 large yellow peach - peeled, pitted, and diced
2 teaspoons fresh thyme leaves
¼ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
¼ teaspoon kosher salt
1 pinch cayenne pepper
8 saltine crackers, crushed
2 tablespoons chicken broth, or as needed
2 double-cut boneless pork chops
salt to taste
1 tablespoon olive oil
¼ cup chicken broth
2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
2 tablespoons cold salted butter

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
  • Cook bacon in a nonstick pan over medium heat until almost crisp, about 5 minutes. Add onion and poblano pepper and saute until onion turns translucent, 5 to 6 minutes more. Add peach and cook until tender and starting to give off some juice. Remove from heat and transfer to a bowl.
  • Stir thyme leaves, black pepper, salt, cayenne, and saltine crackers into the peach mixture. Add 2 tablespoons chicken broth if needed for added moisture. Refrigerate until needed.
  • Cut a pocket in the center of each pork chop, starting with a small incision on the fat side of the chop, exactly halfway down. Use the tip of the knife to cut as close to the edges as possible without poking through. Try to make an incision at least 2 inches wide.
  • Fill the pockets with the stuffing, packing and pressing in firmly. Season both sides of the chops with salt.
  • Heat olive oil in an oven-safe pan over high heat. Sear chops in the hot oil until browned on one side, about 3 minutes. Carefully turn the chops over and transfer the pan to the center of the oven.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the centers reads 145 degrees F to 150 degrees F (63 to 66 degrees C), about 15 minutes.
  • Remove chops from the pan to a plate and cover loosely with foil.
  • Return the pan to the stovetop and place a towel over the hot handle. Add 1/4 cup chicken broth and balsamic vinegar. Bring to a boil while scraping the bottom of the pan with a spoon to deglaze. Turn off heat and stir in butter. Adjust seasoning if desired and serve over pork chops.

CRANBERRY-APRICOT STUFFED PORK CHOPS



Cranberry-Apricot Stuffed Pork Chops image

Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Categories     main-dish

Time 50m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

1/4 cup dried cranberries
1/4 cup dried apricots, coarsely chopped
2 rounded tablespoons whole almonds, toasted and chopped
1 tablespoon unsalted butter, softened
1/4 teaspoon fennel seeds, toasted and crushed
1 medium shallot, minced
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
Four 2-inch-thick rib pork chops
3 tablespoons vegetable oil
1/4 cup Calvados, Cognac, or brandy
1 cup chicken broth, homemade or low-sodium canned
1/2 cup heavy cream
2 teaspoons Dijon mustard

Steps:

  • Put the dried fruit in a small bowl. Pour 1/4 cup boiling water over the fruit and set aside for 10 minutes to soften. Drain, reserve the soaking water. In a mini-processor process the fruit with the nuts, butter, fennel and half the shallot until finely chopped. Season with salt and pepper. Transfer to a small sealable plastic bag or pastry bag. Snip about a 1/2-inch opening in the corner of the plastic bag. With a small paring knife, make a pocket starting from rounded side of each chop. Set the tip of the bag inside the pocket and press a quarter of the stuffing into the chop. Repeat with the remaining chops and filling. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Pat the chops dry and season with salt and pepper. In a large saute pan, heat the oil over medium-high heat. Brown one side of the chops, until well browned about 5 minutes. Use tongs to hold the chops and sear the edges of the chops. Turn and brown the other sides of the chops, about 2 minutes. Transfer the chops to a baking sheet and bake until an instant read thermometer inserted into the center of the chops registers 135 degrees F, about 15 minutes. While the chops are in the oven make the sauce. Drain the oil from the saute pan. Off the heat, add the Calvados and the remaining shallots. Return the pan to the heat, taking care since the alcohol may flambe, and cook over high heat until the alcohol is reduced by half and is slightly syrupy. Add the broth and the fruit soaking liquid and boil down until the liquid is reduce by about a third. Add the cream and continue to simmer until it thickens slightly. Whisk in the mustard. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Add any juices that have accumulated on the baking sheet to the sauce. Divide the chops among 4 warm plates or a large platter. Pour on the sauce and serve.

Provided by Guy Fieri

Time 3h10m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 29

4 bone-in, double-cut loin chops (3 to 4 pounds total)
5 cups water
1/4 cup kosher salt
1 tablespoon fresh cracked black pepper
3 tablespoons Dijon mustard
1 tablespoon dried sage
1 tablespoon granulated garlic
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 tablespoon butter
1/2 cup diced pancetta
6 cups cremini mushrooms, very thinly sliced
Salt and fresh cracked black pepper
1/4 cup minced shallots
1 teaspoon minced fresh sage leaves
1/2 cup shredded fontina cheese
1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
1 teaspoon fresh cracked black pepper
3/4 cup panko breadcrumbs
1/2 cup flour
2 eggs
2 tablespoons olive oil
1/4 cup bacon fat
1/4 cup minced shallots
1 cup chicken stock
2 tablespoons whole grain Dijon mustard
2 tablespoons plain yogurt
2 teaspoons lemon juice
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1 tablespoon chopped Italian flat-leaf parsley, for garnish

Steps:

  • For the brine: Rinse and pat the chops dry, slit a pocket into each chop about 3 to 4 inches long and as deep as the bone. Combine the remaining ingredients in a re-sealable bag, place in the refrigerator and brine for 1 to 2 hours.
  • For the stuffing: In a saute pan over medium-high heat, add the oil and butter, and when the butter melts and foams, add the pancetta and cook until crispy. Remove to a paper towel-lined plate, leaving the fat in the pan. Add the mushrooms, sprinkle with salt and pepper and cook over medium-high heat, stirring frequently for 6 minutes. Add the shallots, sage and 1/2 of the pancetta and cook for 3 minutes more. Remove to a plate to cool, spreading out evenly. Once cool, add the fontina cheese. Reserve the extra pancetta for service.
  • Remove the chops from the brine and pat dry. Stuff with the cooled filling and secure the opening with toothpicks. Reserve any remaining filling for the sauce.
  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
  • For the breading: In a shallow pan or bowl, add the Italian seasoning, pepper, panko and flour. Mix well. Add the eggs to a second shallow bowl and beat.
  • Dredge the chops through the egg, then lay in the breading and press to adhere. Repeat with all the chops.
  • In a large saute pan, add the oil and bacon fat and, when shimmering, add the pork chops, cooking until golden brown, about 5 minutes each side. Hold gently with tongs and cook the edges as well. Place on a baking pan fitted with a wire rack and place into the oven. Cook until the meat registers 135 degrees F on a thermometer, 10 to 15 minutes. Remove and lightly tent with foil.
  • For the sauce: In the same pan that the chops were cooked in, add the shallots and any remaining mushroom filling and cook over medium-high heat for 4 to 5 minutes. Deglaze the pan with the stock and scrape any bits from the bottom. Whisk in the mustard and yogurt until well combined, and then add the lemon juice and salt.
  • Remove the chops from the baking pan, remove the toothpicks and place on a serving platter. Top with the sauce. Garnish with the parsley and the remaining pancetta and serve immediately.
