Servings: 6  
 


Stuffed Pork Chops  

The sweet scent of apples, raisins and yams baking in the oven draws out the appetite as well as the memories in this homey fall dish.
 
 

 

INGREDIENTS

6 medium sweet potatoes or yams, peeled
4 tablespoons cooking oil
6 boneless, center-cut pork chops
  Salt and pepper
1 teaspoon dried thyme, plus more for sprinkling
   
Stuffing:
1 tablespoon butter
1 medium onion, finely chopped
1/3 cup finely chopped celery
1/2 cup minced curly-leaf parsely
2 cups dry breadcrumbs
  Salt and pepper
   
Assembly:
6 large Granny Smith apples, peeled and cored
1 cup golden raisins
 



METHOD

Preheat the oven to 400°. Cut the potatoes into bite-size chunks and boil them in water until they are about half cooked (about 10 minutes). Set aside.

In a large skillet coated with DuPont SilverStone® non-stick, heat the oil and brown the chops quickly on both sides. Season each with salt, pepper, and thyme. Remove from the pan and let cool slightly. Meanwhile prepare the stuffing. In a medium skillet coated with DuPont SilverStone® non-stick, over medium-high heat, melt the butter and sauté the onion and celery until softened, about 3 minutes. Add the parsley, breadcrumbs, and a seasoning of salt and pepper. Mix well and add more breadcrumbs or butter for desired consistency.

Slit a pocket in the middle of each chop and fill with the stuffing. Place the chops into a baking dish coated with DuPont SilverStone® non-stick. Surround with the potatoes. Slice the apples and place them around the chops and potatoes. Sprinkle raisins over all. Season again with thyme. Cover the pan with foil and cook for 50 minutes or until the apples are tender and the chops cooked through. Serve.
