For Colin Lad - Stuffed Pork Chops

[Jonty]

Colin, I didn't want to hijack Big Al's thread so I started a new one. A pork chop stuffed with more pork is wonderous thing and should be tried if at all possible. I'm a big fan of brining chops so I give mine an hour or two in a brine of 1tbspn salt, 1tbspn black treacle and about a litre or so of water.

 

Take a couple of very thick pork chops

 

 

Brine for an hour or two

 

 

Whilst they are brining get your stuffing ready (I use sausage meat and apricots to make a sweet stuffing) and put it into your stuffing device, in this case its a cleaned out silicon tube as per Big Al's

 

 

After the brine, take a thin bladed knife, push it into the chop and move it around to create a decent sized pocket in the meat - try and keep the entry hole as small as possible, then take your stuffer and do the biz

 

 

Quick application of your favourite rub or seasoning

 

 

Now whats not to like about pork stuffed with pork

 

 

It's worth a try - they are wonderful, the brine makes all the difference and is well worth the effort

will be giving that a go! Do you reckon some sort of icing bag/tool would do the job of the silicon tube?

[Balian]

I'm sure i've seen this on Diners Drive-in's and Dives. The pork chop was stuffed as above, then fried in a pan, then finished off in the oven to cook through.

In a roundabout way that's where I got the idea from Aris, an american mate of mine had told me he'd seen someone stuffing chops on DDD and that they looked very good. 'm not sure what they stuffed them with but I thought that pork was a very good stuffing for, erm, pork!
