Joe Majors Stuffed Pork Chops Recipes

Steps:

• Insert a boning knife in the side of each chop, cutting a deep pocket to within 1/2 inch of the bone, being careful to keep the opening only large enough to insert the tip of a pastry bag. (Or ask your butcher to do this for you.)
• Put ground pork, garlic, green onion, egg white, 1/4 cup water, salt and the black and red peppers to taste in a bowl and mix well. Pack the mixture into a pastry bag and pipe 1/4 of it into each chop. Season chops with salt and black pepper and dredge in flour.
• Heat the oil in a heavy skillet over high heat and brown the chops, 2 minutes on each side. Remove them from the pan and add the onion, green pepper and celery. Sauté until onions are transparent, about 3 minutes, then add the stock, scraping up any brown bits. Return chops to the skillet, add thyme and bay leaf, cover and simmer 15 minutes. Turn chops and simmer 15 to 20 minutes more. Remove and let them stand 5 minutes before serving.

Steps:

• In 12-inch nonstick skillet, heat reserved oil from sun-dried tomatoes over medium-high heat. Stir in tomatoes, garlic, 1/2 teaspoon each of the salt and pepper and 1 teaspoon of the thyme. Cook 2 minutes; transfer tomato mixture to medium bowl. Stir in bread crumbs and cheeses; set aside.
• In thick side of each pork chop, cut a slit about 2 inches deep and 3 inches long to form a pocket (do not cut in half). Spoon 2 tablespoons tomato-cheese mixture into each pocket; pinch edges of pork to seal. Sprinkle pork with remaining 1/2 teaspoon each salt and pepper. Cover; refrigerate 1 hour.
• Heat oven to 450°F. In same nonstick skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of the olive oil over medium-high heat. Cook 4 pork chops in oil 4 minutes, turning once. Place pork on cooling rack in 15x10x1-inch pan. Repeat with remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil and 4 pork chops. Bake 25 minutes or until meat thermometer inserted in center of pork reads 145°F.
• Meanwhile, in small bowl, mix broth, lemon peel, lemon juice, mustard and remaining 1 teaspoon thyme. Pour into skillet, stirring to loosen browned bits. Heat to boiling; reduce heat. Simmer 7 minutes or until slightly thickened. Stir in butter; cover to keep warm. Serve pork chops with sauce.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
• In a large bowl, combine cream cheese, pepper, garlic powder, chives, provolone, and bacon, stirring until thoroughly mixed. Set aside.
• Season all sides of the pork chops with salt and pepper.
• Carefully cut a pocket through the side of the pork chop in order to create a cavity. Stuff the cavity with a generous spoonful of the cream cheese mixture and press around the edges of the pork to seal it in. Repeat with the remaining pork chops.
• Dip the stuffed pork chops in the flour, shaking off excess, then the egg, then the breadcrumbs. Repeat with the remaining pork chops.
• Heat the oil in a pan over medium heat. Fry the pork chops for about one to two minutes, then flip. Remove from the heat and bake for 15-20 minutes, until cheese is bubbling and starting to brown.
