Pesto Stuffed Pork Chops With Caramelized Onions Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
• Mix feta cheese, basil pesto, and pine nuts in a bowl. Use the tip of a sharp boning or paring knife to cut a 3-inch slit in the side of each pork chop, 2 inches deep and 1/4-inch away from the bone, to make a pocket for stuffing. Stuff pork chops with pesto filling and secure with toothpicks.
• Mix black pepper, oregano, garlic, red pepper flakes, and thyme in a small bowl; rub both sides of each chop with the spice mix. Place chops into a shallow baking dish.
• Bake in the preheated oven until chops are browned and stuffing is hot, about 40 minutes. An instant-read meat thermometer inserted into the center of the stuffing should read 145 degrees F (63 degrees C). Brush chops with balsamic vinegar and bake until vinegar forms a glaze, another 5 minutes.

Steps:

• Cut deep pockets in one side of chops.
• Mix croutons, pesto sauce, tomatoes and Tabasco, if using. Stuff pork chops.
• Stand pork chops on end; uncut side down, so that stuffing is at the top.

• Cover tightly with foil and bake at 350 F; for 40 minutes.
• Uncover and continue baking about 15-20 minutes until slightly browned.
• Remove chops to heated plates.
• Stir in about 1/3 cup additional wine or water and 2 teaspoon cornstarch to sauce.
• Whisk until thoroughly blended.
• Serve sauce by drizzling around chops.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
• Cut each pork chop horizontally three-fourths of the way through the meat creating a pocket, being careful to not cut all the way through. Rub pork chops with cumin, paprika and salt. Fill each pork chop with 1 tablespoon pesto; secure with wooden picks.
• Heat oil in medium, ovenproof skillet over medium-high heat. Add onion; cook, stirring constantly, for 5 minutes. Add pork chops; cook for 1 minute on each side until brown. Place skillet in oven.
• Bake pork chops and onion for 15 to 20 minutes or until pork is cooked through. Remove wooden picks; top with remaining 3 tablespoons pesto.

Steps:
