Pork Chops with Blue Cheese Stuffing
Cookbook
This filling is both savory and sweet and the pecans add a delightful crunchy texture.
Yield : Makes 4 servings
Prep Time : 10 mins
Cooking Time : 12–16 mins
Ingredients
For the stuffing:
- 1 sweet apple such as Golden Delicious, peeled and finely diced
- 3 oz (85g) Roquefort or Stilton, crumbled
- 1/3 cup chopped pecans
- 2 scallions, chopped
For the chops:
- 4 center cut pork loin chops
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper
Special equipment:
- Wooden toothpicks
Directions
1. Combine the stuffing ingredients and set aside.
2. Trim the excess fat from the pork chops. With a small sharp knife, make a horizontal slit through the fat side of each chop, cutting through the meat almost to the bone to make a pocket.
3. Divide the stuffing evenly among the chops, tucking it firmly into the pockets. Secure with wooden toothpicks.
4. Preheat the broiler. Place the pork chops on a baking sheet, brush with oil, and season with salt and pepper. Broil for 6–8 minutes on each side, depending on thickness, or until golden brown and the juices run clear. Remove the toothpicks and serve.
Notes
Good with trimmed green beans and new potatoes.
