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!

SWEET AND TANGY APPLE PORK CHOPS



Sweet and Tangy Apple Pork Chops image

This is a recipe I created using the idea that pork and apples go splendidly together! The seasonings give the pork a sweet and slightly spicy taste. The apple cider adds to the sweetness, while bringing a unique tartness as it is absorbed into the meat. Serve with applesauce, if desired. Hope you enjoy!

Time 30m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 9

3 tablespoons brown sugar
2 tablespoons honey mustard
1 teaspoon mustard powder
½ teaspoon ground cumin
½ teaspoon cayenne pepper
½ teaspoon garlic powder
1 pound pork chops
2 tablespoons butter
¾ cup apple cider

Steps:

  • Mix brown sugar, honey mustard, mustard powder, cumin, cayenne pepper, and garlic powder together in a small bowl; rub onto pork chops and let sit on a plate for flavors to dissolve into pork chops, about 10 minutes.
  • Melt butter in a large skillet over medium heat; add apple cider. Arrange coated pork chops in the skillet; cook until pork chops are browned, 5 to 7 minutes per side. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 145 degrees F (63 degrees C).

Tips:

  • Choose the right pork chops: Look for bone-in pork chops that are about 1 inch thick. This will help them stay juicy and flavorful during cooking.
  • Season the pork chops generously: Use a combination of salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder to season the pork chops before cooking. This will help them develop a delicious crust.
  • Cook the pork chops over medium heat: Cooking the pork chops over medium heat will help them cook evenly without drying out.
  • Use a meat thermometer to check for doneness: The pork chops are done when they reach an internal temperature of 145 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Let the pork chops rest before serving: Letting the pork chops rest before serving will help them retain their juices and become more tender.

Conclusion:

Apple pork chops are a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. By following these tips, you can make sure that your apple pork chops turn out perfectly every time. Serve with your favorite sides, such as mashed potatoes, green beans, or roasted vegetables. Enjoy!
