Stuffed Peppers With Pork and Rice image

Making the most out a little minced pork, this dish makes for a tasty and different lunch. Originally I came up with a slightly different version without meat which was inspired by holidays to Cyprus, this is a twist on that.

PEPPER PORK CHOPS



Pepper Pork Chops image

Alton Brown brines his pepper pork chops for a best-of-both-worlds result: juicy meat with plenty of flavor. He adds a pound of ice to quick-cool the brine so the pork doesn't have to wait around any longer than necessary.

Provided by Alton Brown

Time 14h20m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

2 cups vegetable broth
1/2 cup plus 2 teaspoons kosher salt
1/2 cup light brown sugar
2 tablespoons black peppercorns, slightly crushed
1 pound ice (about 4 cups)
Four 1 to 1 1/2-inch-thick bone-in pork chops
3 ounces dried apple slices
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 large onion, julienned
1 1/2 cups chicken broth
1 tablespoon coarsely ground black pepper
1 teaspoon dried thyme

Steps:

  • Combine the vegetable broth, 1/2 cup kosher salt, brown sugar and peppercorns in a medium saucepan and set over medium-high heat. Cook just until the salt and sugar dissolve, and then remove from the heat and add the ice. Place the pork chops into a 2-gallon zip-top bag along with the brine and seal. Place in a plastic container and refrigerate overnight.
  • Remove the chops from the brine, rinse and pat dry. Sprinkle on both sides with the remaining 2 teaspoons kosher salt and set aside.
  • Place the apples in a 5 1/2- to 6-quart slow cooker.
  • Heat 1 1/2 tablespoons of the olive oil in a 12-inch stainless steel saute pan over medium-high heat. Saute the pork chops on both sides until golden brown, 5 to 6 minutes per side. Once browned, place the pork chops into the slow cooker atop the apples. Add the remaining 1/2 tablespoon olive oil to the pan, followed by the onions, and saute until they begin to brown, 3 to 4 minutes. Add the chicken broth to the pan to deglaze. Add the black pepper and thyme and stir to combine. Transfer this to the slow cooker, set to high, cover and cook for 1 1/2 hours. Decrease the heat to low and continue cooking until the pork is tender and falling away from the bone, another 4 hours and 30 minutes.

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.

PORK CHOPS WITH ROASTED PEPPERS



Pork Chops with Roasted Peppers image

Serve over Soft, Cheesy Polenta with Shredded and Sauteed Collard Greens.

Provided by Martha Stewart

Categories     Food & Cooking     Ingredients     Meat & Poultry     Pork Recipes

Time 35m

Number Of Ingredients 8

4 orange or yellow bell peppers (8 to 9 ounces each)
5 pork chops, each 1 inch thick (8 ounces each)
Coarse salt and freshly ground pepper
1 tablespoon minced garlic
2 tablespoons capers, rinsed
1 cup dry white wine
1/4 cup sherry vinegar
Soft, Cheesy Polenta

Steps:

  • Roast peppers directly over the flame of a gas-stove burner or under a broiler, turning often, until charred on all sides, about 5 minutes. Transfer to a plastic bag, and let stand 15 minutes. Peel peppers, and discard stems, seeds, and ribs. Tear flesh into thick strips.
  • Heat a large cast-iron skillet over high heat. Generously season chops on both sides with salt and pepper. Brown chops on both sides, turning once, about 4 minutes total.
  • Stir in garlic and capers, and cook 30 seconds, stirring to prevent garlic from burning. Add wine, and cook, stirring and scraping up browned bits as wine reduces to a glaze, about 3 minutes. Add roasted peppers.
  • With pan still very hot, add vinegar, and cook 2 minutes, swirling skillet as vinegar bubbles. Reduce heat to medium. Cover, and cook until chops are cooked through and internal temperature reaches 138 degrees (they should be slightly pink inside), 4 to 5 minutes. Serve pork chops and peppers over polenta.

Categories     One Dish Meal

Time 40m

Yield 4 porkchops, 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 2

4 thick cut boneless pork chops
1 (6 ounce) box Stove Top stuffing mix (savory herb or pork are best)

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Prepare stuffing according to directions on box, increasing water by 1/4 cup.
  • Cut slit into the side of each pork chop, cutting it almost in half. This is easiest on a mostly frozen chop.
  • Stuff (and I mean stuff) each chop with as much stuffing as it can hold. You can also add a pat of butter, salt and pepper, or seasonings if desired.
  • Bake for 35 minutes, or until juice runs clear.
  • We enjoy having cauliflower with our meal.
  • Also-- DO NOT brown chops before hand. This causes them to be too tough, and too rigid to stuff correctly.

Tips:

  • To ensure even cooking, use a meat mallet to pound the pork chops to an even thickness before stuffing.
  • For a flavorful and crispy crust, coat the stuffed pork chops in a mixture of breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, and herbs before baking.
  • To prevent the pork chops from drying out, add a little bit of moisture to the stuffing, such as a splash of broth or milk.
  • If you don't have time to make your own stuffing, you can use a store-bought variety. Just be sure to choose a stuffing that is flavorful and complements the pork chops.
  • Serve the stuffed pork chops with your favorite sides, such as mashed potatoes, roasted vegetables, or a simple salad.

Conclusion:

Stuffed pork chops are a delicious and versatile dish that can be tailored to your own taste. With a little creativity, you can create a dish that is sure to impress your family and friends. So next time you're looking for a flavorful and satisfying meal, give stuffed pork chops a try.
