It’s been a while since I posted a yummy recipe on here…so why not one for some Friday fun??  The last time I cooked (which was way too long ago) I made some stuffed pork chops…UMMMYUMMM!  Here you go…super easy…and super good.
Happy weekendin’ yal!!

Stuffed Pork Chops

Heat in a small skillet over med. heat:
1 tbs. olive oil
add:
1 small onion, chopped
1 small garlic, minced
salt and black paper to taste

Cook for 5 mins to soften the onion a bit.  Remove to a bowl and add:
1/4 cup packed finely chopped dried peaches, apricots or pitted prunes (I did the apricots)
1 tbs finely chopped basil
1 slice white bread, crumbled
2 tbs heavy cream

Mix together with a fork to make stuffing  With a sharp pairing knife, trim the excess fat and cut pockets in:
4 bone in, center-cut pork loin chops, 1-1 1/2″ thick

Make the cut parallel to the cutting board in the middle of the meat and cut almost to the bone.  Fill the chops with stuffing and close with toothpics.
Season with:
salt and pepper to taste

In a large skillet on high heat:
1/2 tbs butter
1/2 tbs olive oil

Place the stuffed chops in the pan and brown for 1 min on each side.  Reduce the heat to low, cover the pan, and cook the chops for 5 mins more on each side.  Remove to plates.  Spoon the juices over the chops from the pan and serve.
