Grant Street Bar and Grill Apple Sauced Pork Chops CDKitchen https://www.cdkitchen.com Serves/Makes: 4 | Ready In: 1-2 hrs
Ingredients: 1 1/4 cup rice, cooked 1/3 cup raisins 1/4 cup chopped apple 1 dash black pepper 4 center cut pork chops, 1 1/2" thick salt black pepper 1 tablespoon olive oil ***Sauce*** 1/4 cup dry white wine or chicken broth 1/4 cup cold unsalted butter, cut in chunks 1 1/2 teaspoon balsamic vinegar 1 teaspoon sugar 1/4 cup chopped apples
Directions: In a bowl, combine rice, raisins, apple and a dash pepper.
Using a sharp knife, cut a pocket in each pork chop by making a 2-inch-long slit in the fat side of chop. Work knife inside, cutting almost to the bone, but keeping the original slit small.
Using a spoon, carefully push about 1/3 cup of the stuffing into each pocket. To keep the stuffing in the pockets, insert 1 or 2 wooden toothpicks diagonally into each chop near the pocket opening. Season chops on both sides with some salt and pepper.
In a large skillet, cook chops in hot olive oil until golden brown, turning once.
Arrange chops in a 13 x 9 x 2-inch baking dish. Bake, uncovered, in a 350 degrees F oven for 45 to 50 minutes or until no pink remains, juices run clear and thermometer inserted in the stuffing registers 160 degrees F. Remove from oven and keep warm.
In small saucepan, heat wine over medium-high heat until boiling.
Boil gently 3 to 5 minutes or until reduced by half. Reduce heat to medium. Whisk in butter chunks, one at a time. Don't boil. Remove from heat. Stir in vinegar, sugar and apple. Serve over chops.
