Pilaf Stuffed Pork Chops Recipes

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.

Steps:

• Place 1 cup of the salt, the brown sugar, peppercorns, mustard and vinegar in a 6-quart container and stir until the salt and sugar dissolve. Let the mixture sit for 5 to 10 minutes. Add the ice cubes and stir to melt most of the ice. Add the chops and make sure they are submerged in the brine. Cover and refrigerate 25 minutes.
• Preheat the oven to 500 degrees F with the oven rack in the center of the oven.
• Remove the chops from the brine, rinse and pat dry. Holding a knife parallel to the cutting board, cut a deep 2-inch-wide pocket into the side of each pork chop.
• Combine the cornbread, walnuts, dried cherries, raisins, pepper, sage, 2 teaspoons salt and the buttermilk in a mixing bowl. Place about 1/4 cup of the stuffing into the pocket of each chop. Brush both sides of each chop with the oil.
• Heat a cast-iron skillet until smoking hot, about 600 degrees F. Add the chops to the pan and cook until well seared, about 5 minutes per side.
• Transfer the pan to the oven and cook about 12 minutes more or until the internal temperature of the chops reaches 140 degrees F for medium. Be sure to temp the chops in the thickest part of the meat close to the bone, not in the stuffing. Let the chops rest 5 minutes before serving.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• In a skillet, heat the oil and brown the pork chops. Place the pork chops in a baking dish.
• In a bowl, toss the bread cubes, melted butter, chicken broth, celery, onion, and poultry seasoning together. Put heaping mounds of the bread crumb mixture onto the pork chops.
• Combine the cream of mushroom soup with the water, and pour this mixture over the stuffing and pork chops.
• Cover and bake for 30 minutes.
• Uncover and continue baking for 10 minutes longer or until juices run clear. The meat thermometer should read 145 degrees F (63 degrees C).

Steps:

• Using a sharp paring knife, make a 2-inch incision in each pork chop, cutting inside pocket all the way to the bone. Using a small spoon, fill each pocket with about 2 tablespoons cornbread stuffing. Press down on top of chops to flatten. Season with salt and pepper.
• Heat oil in a 12-inch skillet over high heat. Add pork chops; sear until browned, 3 to 4 minutes per side. Add 1/2 can chicken broth, and reduce heat to medium-low. Cover, and simmer until stuffing is heated through, 3 to 8 minutes. Use a slotted spatula to remove chops.
• Pour remaining 1/2 can chicken broth into skillet; simmer, scraping up browned bits from bottom of pan with a wooden spoon, until sauce is thickened, 8 to 10 minutes. Strain through a sieve into a liquid-measuring cup (to yield about 1/3 cup). Serve sauce over pork chops.

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.
