Best Stuffed Pork Chops With Sherry Sauce Recipes

STUFFED PORK CHOPS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F.
• Melt the butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the onions and saute until translucent, about 7 minutes. Remove the pan from the heat and stir in the breadcrumbs, salt, pepper and garlic powder. Stir in the beaten egg and parsley.
• To cut pockets into the pork chops, insert the point of a small sharp knife horizontally into the fat-covered edge. Move the knife back and forth to create a deep pocket about 1 1/2 inches wide.
• Fill the pocket of each chop with the breadcrumb mixture. Secure the openings with toothpicks.
• Place the flour in a shallow bowl. Dredge the stuffed chops lightly in the flour, shaking off the excess. Wipe out the skillet used previously for the stuffing and place it over medium-high heat. Add the oil and, when hot, add the chops. Sear over medium heat until lightly browned, about 3 minutes per side.
• Place a rack in a roasting or baking pan and add water, being careful not to cover the rack with water. Place the chops on the rack and cover the roaster with the lid or aluminum foil. Bake the chops for 1 hour. Let rest, remove the toothpicks and serve.

SHERRY APPLE PORK CHOPS

Steps:

• In a large skillet, brown chops, about 2 minutes each side; reserve.
• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• Arrange apple slices in the bottom of a 9x13 inch baking dish. Sprinkle with brown sugar and cinnamon. Dot with butter or margarine. Top with browned pork chops and season with salt and pepper to taste. Pour sherry over all, cover and bake in the preheated oven for 1 hour or until tender and the internal temperature has reached 145 degrees F (63 degrees C).

PORK CHOPS IN SHERRY-MUSHROOM GRAVY

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• Heat oil in a frying pan over medium-high heat. Season pork chops with salt and pepper and coat in flour. Brown pork chops on both sides, 3 to 5 minutes, and transfer to a baking dish.
• Melt butter in the same frying pan and cook mushrooms until tender, scraping the bottom of the pan, 5 to 7 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Add mushroom soup and sherry; stir gravy until well incorporated.
• Pour gravy over pork chops in the baking dish. Cover with aluminum foil.
• Bake in the preheated oven until chops are no longer pink in the center and an instant-read thermometer inserted into the center reads 145 degrees F (63 degrees C), about 35 minutes. Remove aluminum foil, stir gravy, and top pork chops with mozzarella cheese.
• Return to the hot oven and bake until cheese is melted, 3 to 5 minutes more.

PORK CHOPS WITH SHERRY VINEGAR SAUCE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
• Pat the pork chops dry with paper towels and season on both sides with salt and pepper. Place a heavy saute pan over high heat. When the pan is hot, add the oil and 1 tablespoon butter to the pan and swirl to coat the pan evenly. Add the pork chop to the pan and sear for 2 to 3 minutes on the first side. The chops will turn golden brown as the natural sugars in the pork caramelize and create a nice crust. Turn the chops and sear on the second side for 1 minute. Transfer to the oven and cook to desired doneness. It should take about 10 to 12 minutes in the oven for the pork to be just cooked through and juicy.
• Remove the pork from the oven and place the pork chops on a plate to rest while you make the sauce. Loosely cover with foil. Remove the excess fat from the pan and return the pan to the burner. Turn the heat to medium high. Carefully deglaze the pan with the sherry vinegar and sherry and scrape up the brown bits on the bottom of the pan with a wooden spoon. Add the veal stock and barbecue sauce and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to a simmer and reduce until slightly thickened, about 4 minutes. Whisk in the Dijon mustard and the remaining 1 tablespoon butter and whisk to combine. Garnish with chopped tomatoes and minced chives.
• Serve the pork with the sauce.

(UN)STUFFED PORK CHOPS WITH MUSHROOM SAUCE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
• Melt butter in medium skillet and add onion and green pepper, and saute over medium-high heat until tender, about 5 minutes.
• Place bread cubes in medium bowl, add onion and green peppers, and remaining stuffing ingredients and mix well.
• The stuffing should be fairly moist. Add more broth if needed or if using hard bread cubes.
• In same skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat and quickly brown chops, about one minute each side.
• Spray a casserole dish large enough to hold the chops with cooking spray.
• Spoon stuffing into 2 mounds in dish, place browned chops on top, and cover.
• Bake for about 45 minutes, until done.
• About 10 minutes before chops are done, using the same skillet, melt butter over medium heat.
• Add sliced mushrooms and saute for about 2 minutes, until they begin to soften.
• Add wine and cook until its almost all evaporated.
• Stir in flour well.
• Dont worry, it will be dry.
• Stir in chicken broth and let it quickly come to a boil.
• Immediately reduce heat and let simmer for a few minutes to thicken.
• If too thick for your liking, just stir in more broth and continue to simmer.
• Spoon a little sauce over each chop and serve hot!
• NOTE: I use whatever bread i have on hand for stuffing.
• This was particularly good with sunflower bread, as you could taste the sunflower seeds.
• NOTE: If stuffing chops, follow the directions as they are but stuff them before browning, using toothpicks to hold them together.

GRILLED PORK CHOPS WITH CHERRY SAUCE

Steps:

• Pat the chops dry, and rub them all over with a mixture of the rosemary, salt, pepper and garlic. Cover, and marinate for up to 2 hours at room temperature, or overnight in the refrigerator. Bring the chops back to room temperature before grilling.
• Heat one side of a charcoal or gas grill, and put the rack about 4 inches from the heat source. Cook the chops over the hottest part of the fi re until well seared on both sides, about 3 or 4 minutes per side. Move them to the cool part of the grill, cover and cook until done, anywhere from 1 to 10 minutes, depending on the heat of the fi re and the thickness of the chops. The pork is done when it's just fi rm to the touch, its juices run just slightly pink and the meat is rosy in the center, or when an instant-read thermometer registers 135 degrees in the thickest part of the chop (the temperature will continue to rise as the chops rest). Transfer them to a platter, cover loosely with aluminum foil and let them rest while you make the sauce.
• Put 1 tablespoon of the butter in a skillet over medium-high heat. When the foam subsides, add the shallots, and cook until soft, 2 or 3 minutes. Add the cherries, wine and whatever juices have accumulated around the pork chops; cook, stirring occasionally, until the liquid reduces into a thin syrup, 5 or 6 minutes. Stir in the remaining 2 tablespoons butter, a little at a time, until it's incorporated into the sauce. Season with salt and pepper. Pour the sauce over the chops, and serve.
