directions

  • Bring brine ingredients to a boil in a small saucepan. Turn off heat and cool. Add up to 10 ice cubes if you are in a hurry.
  • Place pork chops in cooled brine to marinate from eight hours to overnight in the fridge.
  • Remove pork chops from brine and discard brining liquid. Pat pork chops dry.
  • Cut the bread into 1/2-inch cubes. In a cup, mix egg, cream and final chicken broth together.
  • Gather remaining ingredients as the dish goes together quickly once started. You will need two good-sized frying pans, one for the pork chops and one for the dressing.
  • Preheat pan on med-hi heat, add olive oil and butter and fry pork chops 3-4 minutes per side. Remove from heat and place a tightly-fitted lid on pork chops. Don't worry, they aren't supposed to be done yet.
  • Now, in the second pan, sauté the onion and raisins in butter over medium-hi heat for a few minutes. Add cilantro and cubed bread and sauté for a couple more minutes.
  • Remove from heat and stir in egg mixture a little at a time, so that you don't end up with scrambled eggs. When soaked in, return to heat and cook for a few more minutes.
  • At this point, the pork chops will have finished cooking. Serve the pork chops with the stuffing on the side.
  • Note: Please use the second pan so that the dressing will compliment the pork chops rather than tasting just like them. It's worth washing the second pan!

  1. awesome flavors - the sweetnesss of the maple syrup really comes through and the stuffing the perfect little match made for ZWT4
     
  2. Wonderful! And, easily prepared. Thank you for a recipe I'll use again.
     
  3. Love love loved this! The brine really made these chops super tender! I think I would like the flavor of the chops mixed with the dressing, so next time I may just use one pan. Also I think next time I will use skim milk instead of heavy cream to lighten it up. I really enjoyed the dressing, but picked out the rasins since I am not fond of them to begin with. Great way to prepare pork chops!
