STUFFED PORK CHOPS

Prep Time 10 minutes
Cook Time 30 minutes
Total Time 40 minutes
Servings: 4 servings

Ingredients
  

  • 2 tbsp extra-virgin olive oil, divided
  • 1 apple, peeled and diced
  • ½ onion, diced
  • ¼ cup raisins (any kind but yellow would be nice)
  • ¼ tsp ground cinnamon
  • ¼ tsp ground nutmeg
  • 4 thick-cut boneless pork chops

Method
 

  1. Preheat the oven to 375°F.
  2. In a large ovenproof skillet over medium heat, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil.
  3. Stir in the apple, onion, and raisins, followed by the cinnamon and nutmeg.
  4. Sauté until the onions become slightly translucent, about 5 minutes.
  5. Transfer the mixture to a bowl to cool.
  6. Slice a pocket into the side of each pork chop, then stuff with the cooled raisin-apple mixture. If you want, you can close the slit with a toothpick, but that’s optional; some stuffing might fall out as you cook, but you can just top the pork chops with it later.
  7. Season the chops with salt and pepper.
  8. Pour the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil into the pan, and brown the pork chops for 4 to 5 minutes on each side.
  9. Transfer to the oven and bake for 15 to 20 minutes, or until the thickest part of the chop registers 155°F with a meat thermometer, and serve.
