Baked Stuffed Pork Chops
Makes 4 servings.
Ingredients:
4 (1-1/2-inch-thick) pork loin chops
1/4 cup butter
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 medium-sized onion, chopped
1/2 cup chopped celery
1/2 cup chopped green bell pepper
2 cups soft bread crumbs
About 1 cup beef or chicken broth
Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
Chopped fresh parsley
Method:
Preheat oven to 325F (165C). With a sharp pointed knife, cut a slit in each pork chop for stuffing.
In a large, heavy, ovenproof skillet or stove-top casserole, heat 2 tablespoons butter. Add garlic, onion, celery and green pepper. Saute over low heat about 10
minutes or until soft. Mix with bread crumbs.
Add about 1/2 cup broth to moisten so mixture holds together. Add salt and black pepper.
Stuff each pork chop with onequarter of mixture. Close each chop with a wooden pick. Sprinkle with salt, pepper and flour.
Melt remaining butter in skillet. Add stuffed chops. Brown quickly on both sides.
Add 1/2 cup broth. Cover with lid or foil.
Bake 30 to 40 minutes or until chops are cooked through. Garnish with chopped parsley.
