Mozzarella Stuffed Pork Chops With Polenta And Tomatoes Recipes

Steps:

• Combine cheese, mushrooms, parsley, salt and pepper. Place bread crumbs on a plate or a pie pan. Beat the egg and place in another shallow dish.
• Make a slit in each pork chop about 3/4 the way through. Stuff with the cheese and musroom mixture. Dip and roll the chops in the egg then the bread crumbs. Use toothpicks to help keep them closed if you need to.
• Place each pork chop in a greased baking dish, cover, and bake at 350 for 40 minutes.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
• In a large, oven safe skillet, heat 1 tablespoon oil over medium high heat; season pork chops with 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper.
• Cook until browned, about 3 to 4 minutes per side; remove from skillet and set aside.
• Add the remaining tablespoon oil to the skillet, add tomatoes, garlic; season with 1/4 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper.
• Cook, stirring, for 2 minutes; add wine and simmer until the tomatoes begin to soften, about 2 to 3 minutes.
• Return pork chops to skillet and nestle into the tomatoes; cook in the oven until the chops are cooked through, about 6 to 7 minutes.
• Meanwhile, bring 3 cups water to a boil in a saucepan.
• Whisk in polenta and cook, while whisking, until thickened, 3 to 4 minutes.
• Whisk in the cheese, 1/4 teaspoon salt and 1/8 teaspoon pepper.

Steps:

• Combine milk and cornmeal in large saucepan. Whisk over high heat until mixture comes to boil. Reduce heat to medium; simmer until polenta thickens, whisking often, about 15 minutes. Add rosemary and cheeses; whisk until cheeses melt. Season with salt and pepper.
