Categories     main-dish

Time 1h50m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

3 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 medium onion, finely chopped
1/2 cup breadcrumbs
Pinch salt
Pinch pepper
Pinch garlic powder
1 large egg, lightly beaten
2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
4 bone-in pork chops, about 1 1/2-inch thick
1 cup all-purpose flour
1/4 cup vegetable oil

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F.
  • Melt the butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the onions and saute until translucent, about 7 minutes. Remove the pan from the heat and stir in the breadcrumbs, salt, pepper and garlic powder. Stir in the beaten egg and parsley.
  • To cut pockets into the pork chops, insert the point of a small sharp knife horizontally into the fat-covered edge. Move the knife back and forth to create a deep pocket about 1 1/2 inches wide.
  • Fill the pocket of each chop with the breadcrumb mixture. Secure the openings with toothpicks.
  • Place the flour in a shallow bowl. Dredge the stuffed chops lightly in the flour, shaking off the excess. Wipe out the skillet used previously for the stuffing and place it over medium-high heat. Add the oil and, when hot, add the chops. Sear over medium heat until lightly browned, about 3 minutes per side.
  • Place a rack in a roasting or baking pan and add water, being careful not to cover the rack with water. Place the chops on the rack and cover the roaster with the lid or aluminum foil. Bake the chops for 1 hour. Let rest, remove the toothpicks 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.

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.
