Categories     main-dish

Time 1h10m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 22

Four 1 1/2-inch-thick bone-in pork chops
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
4 corn muffins, crumbled (about 2 cups)
1/4 cup finely chopped celery
1/4 cup chopped dried cranberries
1/4 cup finely chopped red onion
1/4 cup finely chopped fresh Italian parsley (loosely packed)
2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
1 teaspoon hot Hungarian paprika
1 teaspoon dry rubbed sage
2 to 4 tablespoons chicken broth, depending on moisture
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
2 cups all-purpose flour
2 cups buttermilk
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
One 14-ounce can jellied cranberry sauce
1/2 cup chicken stock
1/4 cup creamed honey
4 to 8 sprigs fresh thyme, leaves stripped and gently chopped
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
Peanut or vegetable oil, for frying

Steps:

  • For the chops: Insert a knife at the top end of each chop with the blade facing away from the bone and towards the fat rim. In a sweeping motion, make a pocket inside each chop without carrying the knife completely through the rim of fat, leaving about a 2-inch hole. Season the chops on both sides with a pinch of salt and pepper. Set aside.
  • For the stuffing. In a large bowl, gently combine the crumbled muffins, celery, cranberries, onion, parsley, butter, paprika, sage and enough stock to moisten it. This should not be drippy wet or cakey dry. Taste and season with a pinch salt if needed and a few grinds of pepper.
  • Put the stuffing in a piping bag with the largest tip (or use a plastic bag and cut a corner). Squeeze the stuffing into the center of each pork chop and secure the hole with a toothpick.
  • For the dredge: Set up a dredging station with the flour in one shallow dish and the buttermilk in a second shallow dish. Season each with a pinch of salt and a few grinds of pepper. Dredge the chops in the flour first, then in the buttermilk and finally back in the flour. Rest the chops in the flour or on a wire rack for 15 minutes.
  • For the sauce. In a small saucepot on medium heat, add the jellied cranberry sauce, chicken stock and honey. Cook until the cranberry dissolves and the liquid reduces and becomes slightly thicker, about 5 minutes. Add the thyme and stir in the butter until it melts. Taste and season with a pinch of salt and a few grinds of pepper. Keep warm.
  • To fry and serve: Using a Dutch oven, your heaviest pot or a deep fryer, bring at least 4 inches of oil to 370 degrees F. Gently place the chops into the oil without overcrowding; you may need to do this in batches. The temperature will lower while frying; hold it at 350 degrees F. Cook until the chops reach an internal stuffing temperature of 150 degrees F, 10 to 14 minutes. Remove to a wire rack, sprinkle with a pinch of salt and gently cover with aluminum foil, allowing for air to escape so the chops don't steam. Rest the chops 5 minutes like this.
  • Serve with a drizzle of the sauce.

Sweet orange marmalade enhances the flavor of the tart cranberries in this wonderful dish. For a more intense flavor, use 1/4 cup dried cranberries or cherries instead of fresh or frozen cranberries and do not chop.

PORK CHOPS W/ APPLE CRANBERRY STUFFING



Pork Chops W/ Apple Cranberry Stuffing image

I only make stuffing from scratch at Thanksgiving and Christmas so I've taken to doctoring the box mixes. I put 4 chops in the instructions because those even numbers are usually what people are looking for however, at my grocery store the prepackaged thick or butterflied chops are sold in 3 packs. It's a pretty forgiving recipe though, just add another box of stuffing mix for up 6-8 chops and throw in more fruit and a larger pan. I increased the liquid by 1/4 c to allow for the onion and the fruit added to the mix.

Categories     Pork

Time 1h5m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

4 thick cut pork chops or 4 butterfly pork chops
1 (6 ounce) box stove top pork stuffing mix
4 tablespoons butter
3/4 cup apple juice or 3/4 cup cider
1 cup chicken broth
1/2 cup granny smith apple, peeled, cored and diced
1/2 cup dried cranberries
1/4 cup red onion, diced
salt and pepper
2 tablespoons canola oil

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
  • If pork chops are not butterflied, slice through leaving attached at one side so it opens like a book. Season inside and out with salt and pepper to taste.
  • Heat a skillet on medium high heat with 2 T oil. Place pork cut side down in the pan.
  • Leave for 4-5 minutes. Turn and fold the chop shut and brown each outer side of the meat. If the edges are very thick you can also brown the edges. The meat should not be cooked all the way through, only nicely seared and browned. Remove pan from the heat and cover to keep warm.
  • To start the stuffing, add the apple liquid, chicken broth, onions, apples, cranberries and the butter to a saucepan and following directions bring to a boil.
  • Once liquid is boiling stir in the bread and seasoning. Fold in well making sure all bread gets moistened. Cover. Remove from heat and let stand 5-10 minutes. Fluff with a fork.
  • Arrange meat with the "hinged" side down in a 9x9 baking dish or cake pan sprayed with a nonstick spray. Fill the upward facing pockets of the pork with the stuffing. If you have any stuffing left, spoon around the base of the meat.
  • Cover with foil and bake for 20-30 minutes or the meat is cooked to your satisfaction.
  • I still have a thing about pork and I tend to overcook it to this day. Please use your own judgment:).

Time 40m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

2 tablespoons roughly chopped fresh parsley
2 scallions, thinly sliced
1 jalapeno pepper, seeded and finely chopped
1 heaping cup crumbled cornbread
1 large egg, lightly beaten
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
4 bone-in pork chops (1 inch thick; about 10 ounces each)

1 1/4 pounds green beans, trimmed
3 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
3/4 cup low-sodium chicken broth

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Combine the parsley, scallions, jalapeno, cornbread, egg, 1/2 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper in a bowl. Cut a deep 2-inch-wide pocket into the side of each pork chop. Stuff the cornbread mixture into the pockets.
  • Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Season the pork with salt and pepper. Add to the skillet in batches and cook until golden brown, about 2 minutes per side. Transfer to a rimmed baking sheet; reserve the skillet. Bake until cooked through, 8 to 10 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, bring a medium pot of salted water to a boil; add the green beans and cook until crisp-tender, 3 minutes. Drain; return to the pot. Add 2 tablespoons butter. Season with salt and pepper; toss.
  • Remove the pork from the baking sheet and pour the juices on the baking sheet into the skillet. Sprinkle the flour over the juices; cook over medium heat, whisking, 1 minute. Whisk in the broth, scraping up any browned bits, until smooth and thickened, 2 to 3 minutes. Remove from the heat; whisk in the remaining 1 tablespoon butter and 3/4 teaspoon pepper and drizzle over the pork chops. Serve with the green beans.

My husband and two kids rave over these moist chops. Use the mild sweet-and-sour sauce to make a gravy that can be served over mashed potatoes or rice. Then add a salad and you have a very satisfying meal that didn't keep you in the kitchen for hours. -Robin Czachor, Appleton, Wisconsin
