Low Fat Baked Stuffed Pork Chops Food

STUFFED PORK CHOPS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350°F.
• In a large oven-proof skillet, melt butter over medium-high heat. Add apple, onion, and celery; sauté just until tender (about 5-7 minutes).
• Meanwhile, prepare the stuffing according to the package instructions. Use a fork to gently combine the prepared stuffing with the sauteed apple, onion, and celery mixture. Set aside.
• Use a sharp knife to cut a pocket in each pork chop. Be careful not to slice all of the way through. Pat the pork chops dry with a paper towel. Season on both sides with salt and pepper.
• Fill each pork chop with about ¼ cup stuffing (or as much stuffing as you can fit inside). Secure with toothpicks.
• Wipe out the skillet that you used to sauté the apples and vegetables. Add the oil to the skillet and heat over medium-high heat. When the oil shimmers, add the pork chops to the pan and brown on both sides, about 3 minutes per side. Work in batches, if necessary, so that you don't overcrowd the pan.
• Arrange all of the browned pork chops in the oven-safe skillet. If you don't have a big enough skillet to hold all of the chops, or if you don't have an oven-safe skillet, place the browned pork chops on a greased or parchment-lined rimmed baking sheet.
• Transfer the skillet (or baking sheet) to the oven. Bake, uncovered, for 20-25 minutes, or until juices run clear and an instant-read meat thermometer registers 145°F. Remove toothpicks before serving, and garnish with fresh herbs if desired.

Steps:

• Place 1 cup of the salt, the brown sugar, peppercorns, mustard and vinegar in a 6-quart container and stir until the salt and sugar dissolve. Let the mixture sit for 5 to 10 minutes. Add the ice cubes and stir to melt most of the ice. Add the chops and make sure they are submerged in the brine. Cover and refrigerate 25 minutes.
• Preheat the oven to 500 degrees F with the oven rack in the center of the oven.
• Remove the chops from the brine, rinse and pat dry. Holding a knife parallel to the cutting board, cut a deep 2-inch-wide pocket into the side of each pork chop.
• Combine the cornbread, walnuts, dried cherries, raisins, pepper, sage, 2 teaspoons salt and the buttermilk in a mixing bowl. Place about 1/4 cup of the stuffing into the pocket of each chop. Brush both sides of each chop with the oil.
• Heat a cast-iron skillet until smoking hot, about 600 degrees F. Add the chops to the pan and cook until well seared, about 5 minutes per side.
• Transfer the pan to the oven and cook about 12 minutes more or until the internal temperature of the chops reaches 140 degrees F for medium. Be sure to temp the chops in the thickest part of the meat close to the bone, not in the stuffing. Let the chops rest 5 minutes before serving.
