Stuffed Pork Chops Recipe With Mushroom Sausage Stuffing

STUFFED PORK CHOPS RECIPE WITH MUSHROOM-SAUSAGE STUFFING

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350°F.
• In a large bowl, toss the bread chunks with 1/2 cup of the olive oil and salt and pepper to taste. Spread on a baking sheet and toast in the oven, shaking the pan several times to insure even browning, for 5 to 6 minutes, until lightly browned. Let the bread cool for about 10 minutes, then transfer to a large bowl.
• In a large skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of the oil over medium heat. When hot, sauté the onion and garlic for about 3 minutes, or until the onion softens. Take care so the garlic does not burn. If it appears to be scorching, lower the heat.
• Add the sausage, sage, and marjoram and cook, stirring with a wooden spoon to break up the sausage meat, for about 10 minutes, or until the sausage is cooked through. Transfer to the bowl with the bread and set aside.
• Add 2 tablespoons of the oil to the skillet and heat over medium heat. When hot, add the mushrooms and cook, uncovered, for about 5 minutes, or until the mushrooms give off their juices, the juices evaporate, and the mushrooms begin to brown.
• Transfer the mushrooms to the mixing bowl. Add the Parmesan and parsley and mix well. Slowly add the stock, stirring to mix, and season to taste with salt and pepper. Cover the bowl and refrigerate until chilled. The stuffing can be made and refrigerated up to 2 days in advance.
• Meanwhile, prepare a clean, well-oiled charcoal or gas grill so that the charcoal is medium-hot or the heating elements are hot.
• Using a sharp knife, cut pockets into the chops by slicing horizontally into the thickest side, working the knife through the meat nearly to the other side. Wiggle the knife in the meat to make the pockets.
• Using your fingers or a spoon, stuff the pockets with the sausage mixture until overflowing. Tie the chops like a package with kitchen twine to hold the stuffing in place. Rub both sides of the chops with the remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil and season well with salt and pepper.
• Grill the pork chops, turning once with tongs, for a total 10 to 15 minutes, until browned and cooked through. If you are not sure the meat is done, insert an instant-read thermometer into the stuffing; it should read 165°F. Remove the string, let the chops rest for about 5 minutes, and serve.

Steps:

• Heat the oven to 400 degrees F and arrange a rack in upper third.

Move the knife back and forth in a fan motion to open the interior of the pocket without significantly widening the opening. (You don't want to pierce through the meat but simply create a pocket for the stuffing.) Brush the exterior of the chops with oil, season well with salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste, and set aside until the stuffing is ready.
• Heat 1 tablespoon of oil in a large ovenproof frying pan over medium-high heat. When the oil shimmers, add the shallots and cook until softened.

Wipe out the frying pan and return it to the stove over medium-high heat. Taste the stuffing and adjust the seasoning, as necessary. Stuff half of the mushroom mixture into the pocket of each chop. If the filling is falling out, secure the chops closed with toothpicks.

• Remove the pan from the oven and set the pork aside on serving plates to rest. Return the pan to the stove over medium heat and add the vermouth. Cook, scraping the bits from the bottom of the pan with a spatula, until the alcohol smell is cooked off and is slightly reduced, about 1 minute.
