Poblano And Cheese Stuffed Pork Chops Recipes

STUFFED PORK CHOPS

Steps:

• In a bowl, mix the prunes and almonds with 1 tablespoon of lemon olive oil.
• Cut a pocket on the side of each pork chop from the fat side to the bone. Season the outside of each chop with salt and pepper, to taste. Stuff each chop with 1/2-ounce of goat cheese, pushing it to the bottom of the opening, then stuff with the prune mixture. Secure with toothpicks.
• Heat the remaining 2 tablespoons lemon olive oil in a large shallow Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Sear the chops on both sides until golden brown. Add water to come 1/4 of the way up the side of chops. Cover and simmer until the chops are cooked, about 15 to 20 minutes. Remove chops to a serving platter and simmer the liquid and any stuffing drippings until reduced to a thick sauce. Pour the sauce over the chops and serve garnished with toasted almonds.

CHEESE-STUFFED PORK ROULADE

Steps:

• Prepare an outdoor grill for medium-high heat, leaving 1 burner off for indirect heat (to finish the roulades). Oil the grill grates.
• Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the broccoli, garlic and 1/4 teaspoon salt and cook, stirring, until the broccoli begins to brown in spots, 3 to 4 minutes. Add 1 cup water and continue to cook until the water evaporates and the broccoli is tender, 3 to 4 minutes more. Transfer to a bowl; stir in the Cheddar and set aside.
• Butterfly the tenderloins by making a 1-inch-deep incision down the length of each without cutting all the way through. Open the tenderloins like books so they lie flat, cover with plastic wrap and pound with the flat side of a meat mallet until they're about 1/4 inch thick. Remove the plastic wrap and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Spread the broccoli mixture over the 2 tenderloins, leaving a 1-inch border around all the sides except the long one closest to you. Starting with the long side closest to you, tightly roll up each tenderloin, tucking the narrow ends inside as you roll. Tie each roulade with butcher's twine tightly (without piercing the meat) at each end and at 2-inch intervals in between. Brush with oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper.
• Grill the roulades over direct heat, turning, until the outside is well marked, about 12 minutes. Move them to indirect heat, cover and cook until a meat thermometer inserted in the center of each roulade registers 145 degrees F, about 15 minutes more. Transfer them to a cutting board to rest 10 minutes.
• Meanwhile, lay a slice of onion on a cutting board. Place the palm of 1 hand on top of the slice, and with the other hand, push a metal skewer through the slice crosswise until it comes out the other side. Repeat with the other slices, leaving an inch of skewer uncovered on each end and using as many skewers as necessary. Thread the tomatoes on skewers. Brush the onions and tomatoes with oil. Grill, turning, until the tomatoes are charred and bursting and the onion slices are tender with brown edges, 6 to 7 minutes. Remove the tomatoes and onions from the skewers and chop. Mix with the parsley, vinegar, 1 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper in a medium bowl.
• Cut the strings off the roulades with scissors and slice the roulades on the bias. Serve with the relish.

CHEESE & POTATO STUFFED PORK CHOPS RECIPE - (4.5/5)

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Lightly spray a 13 x 9-inch baking pan. Make a "pocket" in the chops to hold the filling. Here's a very good video explaining how: Peel the potatoes if you wish. I used white new potatoes so eliminated this step. Slice the potatoes ULTRA thin...so you can read the newspaper through them. For this, I used my box grater--the side that has the "U" shape. Otherwise use a mandolin to accomplish this. You may also substitute frozen shredded potatoes that are thawed if you don't want to bother with the thin slicing. Pat the potatoes to remove excess moisture between paper towels. Place potatoes in a medium bowl. Add the cheeses, salt, pepper and 1 tbs of the melted butter. Stuff each chop with 1/4 of the potato-cheese mixture. Place in prepared pan. Brush with remaining melted butter. Sprinkle lightly with additional salt and pepper. Bake at 400 degrees F for 40-50 minutes. SLOW COOKER METHOD: Proceed as above, except don't prepare a baking dish. Place chops in a 5-7 QT slow cooker. Try to angle the chops with the stuffed pocket angled upward. Cover and cook on HI for 4-5 hrs. Serves 4.

PORK CHOPS STUFFED WITH CHEDDAR CHEESE AND POBLANO PEPPERS

Steps:

• In a container, mix 2 tablespoons salt with 4 cups cold water. Stir to dissolve salt. (The brine and chops can be placed in a Ziploc bag, removing air to completely submerge chops.) Place pork chops in the brine and refrigerate for an hour. Then remove them from the brine and pat dry with paper towels. Lay out the chops on a clean plate to allow them to come to room temperature.
• Using a small knife, make a small incision in the side of the chop, pushing the blade into the center of the chop and moving the blade side to side to create a pocket while keeping the "mouth" as small as possible.
• Create a filling by combining the poblano, cheese, salt and pepper. Stuff about a tablespoon of filling into each pork chop. Rub the outside of the chops with oil and season with salt and pepper.
• Heat a cast-iron skillet over medium heat to the point where a droplet of water skitters around the pan. Place chops in the pan, cook about 5 minutes per side. The internal temperature should register about 145 degrees. Remove chops from the pan and allow them to rest for 5 minutes. Good served with rosemary mashed potatoes.

• Meanwhile, toss the poblano, onion, pear, 1 tablespoon olive oil, 1/2 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper on a rimmed baking sheet. Broil, stirring occasionally, until softened and charred in spots, 8 minutes; set aside.
• Season the pork with salt, pepper and the thyme. Heat the remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the pork; cook until well browned, about 5 minutes per side. Remove to a plate. Add the poblano mixture and sliced garlic to the skillet. Cook until the garlic softens, 2 minutes. Add the broth and cook, scraping up any browned bits, 1 minute. Remove from the heat; stir in the vinegar and half of the cilantro. Season with salt.
