Fireman Bobs Pesto Stuffed Pork Chops Recipes

Steps:

• For the brine: Rinse and pat the chops dry, slit a pocket into each chop about 3 to 4 inches long and as deep as the bone. Combine the remaining ingredients in a re-sealable bag, place in the refrigerator and brine for 1 to 2 hours.
• For the stuffing: In a saute pan over medium-high heat, add the oil and butter, and when the butter melts and foams, add the pancetta and cook until crispy. Remove to a paper towel-lined plate, leaving the fat in the pan. Add the mushrooms, sprinkle with salt and pepper and cook over medium-high heat, stirring frequently for 6 minutes. Add the shallots, sage and 1/2 of the pancetta and cook for 3 minutes more. Remove to a plate to cool, spreading out evenly. Once cool, add the fontina cheese. Reserve the extra pancetta for service.
• Remove the chops from the brine and pat dry. Stuff with the cooled filling and secure the opening with toothpicks. Reserve any remaining filling for the sauce.
• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
• For the breading: In a shallow pan or bowl, add the Italian seasoning, pepper, panko and flour. Mix well. Add the eggs to a second shallow bowl and beat.
• Dredge the chops through the egg, then lay in the breading and press to adhere. Repeat with all the chops.
• In a large saute pan, add the oil and bacon fat and, when shimmering, add the pork chops, cooking until golden brown, about 5 minutes each side. Hold gently with tongs and cook the edges as well. Place on a baking pan fitted with a wire rack and place into the oven. Cook until the meat registers 135 degrees F on a thermometer, 10 to 15 minutes. Remove and lightly tent with foil.
• For the sauce: In the same pan that the chops were cooked in, add the shallots and any remaining mushroom filling and cook over medium-high heat for 4 to 5 minutes. Deglaze the pan with the stock and scrape any bits from the bottom. Whisk in the mustard and yogurt until well combined, and then add the lemon juice and salt.
• Remove the chops from the baking pan, remove the toothpicks and place on a serving platter. Top with the sauce. Garnish with the parsley and the remaining pancetta and serve immediately.

Steps:

• 1. Note: This recipe brings beef and noodles together in a soup and begins by cooking beef short ribs until the meat falls off the bone, then adding homemade egg noodles to the pot to make soup. Have your Butcher cut the short ribs down to about 2 inches long if needed.
• 2. Preheat oven to 275 degrees. Chop the onion, celery, carrots, and garlic, and set aside. Generously season the beef short ribs with salt and pepper. In a large Dutch oven, brown the beef on all sides over high heat in a small amount of oil. Remove beef from pot and set aside.
• 3. Now add the carrots, celery, onions and garlic and simmer in the beef drippings till almost browned. Add the grape juice and use a wooden spoon to loosen all the " tid bits " from the bottom of the pan. Add the tomatoes, bay leaves and the browned beef.
• 4. Add the stock, and cider making sure the liquid covers the meat, add more beef stock until the ribs are covered by an inch. Bring to a boil, then cover and transfer to the oven. Allow the beef to cook untouched for 5 hours.
• 5. Remove pot from oven and carefully remove the beef ribs from the liquid. Remove the meat from the bones and gently pull the meat into bite-sized pieces. Also, " DIG " out the bone marrow from inside the bones and add with the meat. Set aside.
• 6. Preparing the Noodles
• 7. In a large bowl, stir together the flour, salt, pepper, and fennel. Add the beaten eggs, milk, and butter. Knead dough until smooth, about 5 minutes. Let rest in a covered bowl for 10 minutes. On a floured surface, roll out to 1/4 inch thickness. Cut into desired length. Allow to air dry 20 minutes before cooking.
• 8. Add the noodles to the liquid and simmer over a medium heat for about 6 to 8 minutes or until the noodles are tender. Turn off heat.
• 9. Add the beef and stir until the meat is heated through. Season to taste with salt and black pepper. Top off each bowl with the green onions. Serve hot with a good crusty bread.
• 10. ENJOY !!!

• Enro Gay's Version for a Family Gathering with her Gravy...
• Enro Gay... " Hello, Bob... the meatballs were a huge success. I reduced the recipe by using 4 pounds meat (2 ground beef, 1 veal and 1 pork sausage) and used dry Italian bread crumbs in place of day-old bread (and adjusting other ingredient amounts to match). Since these were made for homemade meatball subs, I made them much smaller and cooked them a short time in the oven before transferring to my slow cooker. "
• " I did not use your "gravy" as outlined above, but used this instead: "
• Small onion, fine chopped Small green pepper, fine chopped 2 cloves garlic, fine chopped 3 Tbsp EVOO 6 ounce tomato paste 1/4 cup dry red wine 3/4 cup chicken broth 2-15 ounce cans tomato sauce 1 tsp dried oregano 3/4 tsp dried basil 1 tsp sugar Salt and fresh ground pepper to taste
• Saute onion and green pepper in EVOO for a couple minutes, add the garlic and cook another minute. Then add the tomato paste and wine, stirring for another minute or so. Then add the chicken broth, tomato sauce and spices, stirring to combine. Bring to a boil, then simmer covered for about 3 hours... YUMMY!
• " I made it the night before, then warmed in up, transferred sauce to the slow cooker and added the meatballs to simmer on low until we got ready to eat. I will make the dinner size meatballs next time and serve to my hubby with spaghetti, a favorite of his. Thanks for a wonderful meatball recipe! "
• " Absolutely... feel free! Even though the sauce and meatballs were sealed up in my locking-lid slow cooker, my mother and I could smell this during our 1.5 hour trip to see my son... just about drove us crazy! :-) "
• " Ummm.. Thank You again... it DOES have that quality!!! Lol!!! " HOPE YOU ALL ENJOY!!!!!!!

Steps:

• 1. Coat a 7-quart slow cooker or Large Dutch Oven with Extra Virgin Olive Oil. Make 1/2 inch slits about 1 inch deep in the roast with a knife, " Hide " the garlic cloves inside these slits.

• 3. Arrange mushrooms, potatoes, jalapeno pepper, and carrots around beef. Place the fire roasted tomatoes over beef and vegetables. Pour beef broth in.

• 5. Serve beef and vegetables with sauce from slow cooker. Garnish with parsley. Enjoy!

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
• Mix feta cheese, basil pesto, and pine nuts in a bowl. Use the tip of a sharp boning or paring knife to cut a 3-inch slit in the side of each pork chop, 2 inches deep and 1/4-inch away from the bone, to make a pocket for stuffing. Stuff pork chops with pesto filling and secure with toothpicks.
• Mix black pepper, oregano, garlic, red pepper flakes, and thyme in a small bowl; rub both sides of each chop with the spice mix. Place chops into a shallow baking dish.
• Bake in the preheated oven until chops are browned and stuffing is hot, about 40 minutes. An instant-read meat thermometer inserted into the center of the stuffing should read 145 degrees F (63 degrees C). Brush chops with balsamic vinegar and bake until vinegar forms a glaze, another 5 minutes.

• Stir-fry briskly, keeping the ingredients moving around all the time. ( depending on the " size " of your wok, this may have to be done in 2 or 3 batches )
• Stir-frying briskly keeps the ingredients from burning as the heat is kept high.
• Once the pork has browned, add the " paste mixture " to the wok.
• Stir-fry for another 2 to 3 minutes or until pork is cooked though. Serve immediately with rice, or pasta
