PORK ESSENTIALS: SPINACH-FETA STUFFED LOIN CHOPS

Steps:

• PREP/PREPARE
• THE STUFFING
• Gather your Ingredients (mise en place).
• Add the butter and oil to a skillet over medium heat.
• When the foaming subsides, add the spinach, and garlic.
• Chef's Note: Add a bit of salt and pepper, to taste.
• Stir for 2 minutes, and then add the feta.
• Stir until most of the moisture is removed, about 2 - 3 minutes, and reserve.
• THE CHOPS
• Place a rack in the middle position, and preheat the oven to 300f (150c).
• Use a sharp knife, to cut a pouch into the chops.
• Chef's Note: Be careful not to cut through the chops.
• Stuff the chops with the spinach.
• Chef's Note: You will have more spinach than you need, but that is okay, just serve it on the side with the chops.
• Brush the stuffed chops with the brown mustard.
• Dust the chops with the Italian breadcrumbs.
• Add the butter and oil to an ovenproof skillet over medium heat. When the foaming subsides, add the chops.
• Cook on both sides until lightly browned, about 2 - 3 minutes per side.
• Add the skillet to the preheated oven, and bake until fully cooked, about 15 - 18 minutes.
• PLATE/PRESENT
• Serve while still nice and warm with your favorite sides. Enjoy.
• Keep the faith, and keep cooking.
