We tried it tonight with some fresh pea's, although I do think this would have been better with chicken. It was still good with Pork, I just feel that Pork can be a tougher meat, but I love the flavor! You will also have to excuse my photography, I dont have a good camera, so the pictures come out kinda lame. Anyway here it is!
Pork Chops with Apricot ~ Almond Stuffing
3 ounces of dried apricots, coursely chopped
2 ounces almonds, coursely chopped
1/4 cup corsely chopped parsley
2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
4 bone-in Pork Chops
1 cup chicken stock
2 tsp red-wine vinegar
1. mix together apricots, almonds, parsley, and 1 tbsp oil. season with salt and pepper. cut a 2 inch slit into the side of each pork chop, cutting through to the bone to form a pocket. fill each pocket with 2 tbsp stuffing and press flat. season with salt and pepper.
2. Heat remaining tbsp oil in a large skillet over high heat, sear pork until brown, about 3-4 minutes per side. add 1/2 cup chicken stock. reduce heat to low and cover, simmer until cooked through about 6-8 minutes. Transfer pork to plates.
3. Add remaining 1/2 cup stock to skillet and raise temperature to high and simmer, scraping up the brown bits, let sauce thicken, about 5-7 minutes. add vinegar, simmer for 30 seconds. strain sauce through a fine strainer and drizzle over pork.
Serve!
Let me know what you think!
