Stuffed Pork Chop with Apple Pumpernickel Dressing

Thick-cut chops stuffed with a savory Westphalian ham and pumpernickel dressing, simmered in a wine-stock glaze.

Ingredients
  

  • 1 3- 4 lb Pork Roast bone in or you can use thick cut chops

Dressing

  • 2 cups of dried pumpernickel cubes about 5 slices
  • 1 cup diced ham Westphalian
  • 1 apple 1 /4 inch dice
  • 1 medium onion 1/4 inch dice
  • 1-2 stalks celery for about 1 cup thin sliced celery
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 / 2 cup white wine sweet or dry
  • 2 tablespoons cooking oil

Breading and Cooking Liquid for 2-3 chops only

  • 1/2 cup flour
  • 1 teaspoon your favorite seasoning salt or salt and pepper and garlic powder mix
  • cooking oil to brown chops
  • 1 1/2 cups chicken stock
  • 1 /2 cup white wine
  • 2 tablespoons flour

Instructions
 

  • Put the knife right next to the bone and slice down.
  • Now we have 6 pork chops ready to stuff
  • Saute the onions, celery, apples, ham, Marjoram and parsley in olive oil till tender.
  • Add the wine, about a 1/2 cup but as you can see I just free poured from the bottle, a little extra won't hurt. Cook for another 3 minutes and let the mix cool a bit.
  • Place the vegetable mixture in a bowl and add the pumpernickel and eggs. Stir till everything is well mixed and the vegetables are coated.
  • Hold the knife horizontally and slice a pocket in the chop. Cut a nice big cavity into the chop without slicing through tot he edges. Keep the slit as small as possible. Stuff the chop with the dressing that has been divided into 6 equal portions.
  • I used a long toothpick here. You can also cut bamboo skewers in half or use 2 regular size toothpicks
  • Thread the toothpick through the opening to keep it shut. I stuffed all the chops but froze 3 of them for another meal.
  • Mix the flour and seasoning on a plate then dip the chops into the flour. Heat the Skillet and brown the chops on medium to medium high heat. This will take about 2 to 3 minutes on each side.
  • Then Add 1/2 cup stock and 1/2 cup wine and chicken stock and simmer for 30 minutes.
  • Remove the chops and pull out the toothpick.

The Sauce

  • Mix 2 tablespoons of flour in the chicken stock, add to the pan and bring to a simmer so it can lightly thicken. Add water if necessary to make a thin glaze.
