PORK CHOPS STUFFED WITH FETA, BASIL & ALMONDS
This one is made up on the fly! I thawed some pork chops, and started looking in the fridge for things to stuff it with. I had some fresh basil I needed to use, came across the feta, and remembered I had some almonds. Added a few other ingredients, stuffed 'em, and baked 'em. They have sort of a Mediterranean flair. Soooo good!

Steps:
- 1. Preheat oven to 375°.
- 2. Pat pork chops dry. Trim off excess fat around edges. Holding palm of one hand firmly flat on top of a chop, use a sharp knife with a sweeping motion to split the chop horizontally and form a pocket. Take care not to cut thru the back or sides or bottom of the chop. Repeat w/ second chop. Set aside on a platter.
- 3. In a med. bowl, mix together the feta, lemon zest, chopped almonds, basil, craisins, dijon, & thyme. Stir to blend well.
- 4. Stuff the mixture into each chop, pressing it deep into the pocket. Place chops back onto platter.
- 5. Spread apricot preserves on top of each chop. Then sprinkle with the unseasoned bread crumbs, pressing the bread crumbs into the preserves. Spritz the top of the crumbs w/ spray butter or spray canola oil.
- 6. Spray a baking dish with PAM or canola oil. Using a large spatula, transfer the chops from the platter to the prepared baking dish. (If you put the chops into the baking dish before sprinkling the bread crumbs on top, you'll have a mess of bread crumbs in the bottom of the dish that might burn, once you bake the chops).
- 7. Bake chops for 35 - 40 minutes, testing for doneness when thermometer inserted into meat reaches 170° (don't put thermometer into the stuffing; you want to read the MEAT temperature).
- 8. Remove chops from oven when done, and let them sit for just a few minutes, so the stuffing will set up & cool a bit.
ONE-PAN PORK CHOPS WITH FETA, SNAP PEAS AND MINT
Brawny and golden brown, these seared pork chops make a hearty one-pan dinner that's rounded out by sweet sugar snap peas and loads of fresh mint. The feta, added at the end, melts into the pork and peas, spiking the sauce with its brininess. Be generous with the fresh lemon juice at the end; this rich dish gains a lot from the tang.

Steps:
- Season pork chops with salt and pepper. In a large skillet, heat oil over medium-high until shimmering.
- Add the pork chops to skillet and sear, without moving, until dark golden, 4 to 5 minutes per side. Lower heat, cover pan and cook the pork chops for 3 minutes longer. Transfer to a plate.
- Return the skillet to the stove and reduce heat to medium. Add butter to remaining oil in skillet, then add scallions and cook until lightly golden, 2 to 3 minutes. Add snap peas, mint, red-pepper flakes and a pinch of salt, stirring everything to coat with pan juices.
- Making space in the skillet, return pork chops to pan, surrounding them with snap peas. If necessary, you can mound snap peas on top of pork, but make sure the meat sits directly on the bottom of pan. Scatter feta over pork and snap peas. Cover and cook over low heat until pork chops are just cooked through, 3 to 6 minutes longer.
- Drizzle or squeeze lemon juice over the dish and sprinkle with more mint, scallions and black pepper before serving.
GREEK PORK CHOPS WITH ZUCCHINI AND FETA
Thin-cut bone-in lean pork rib chops cook in minutes and offer a hearty, meaty richness that can be extra satisfying. A pantry spice blend of dried oregano, thyme, and paprika seasons the chops, and the browned bits left in the pan later flavor the zucchini as it sautes. Choose chops that don't have striations of fat in the meat; if they have a large fat cap, simply trim it off before cooking.

Steps:
- To season and cook the pork chops: Stir together the oregano, thyme, paprika, salt, and pepper in a small bowl. Set the pork chops on a cutting board and season both sides of each chop with the spice blend.
- Heat a large skillet over high heat for 1 minute. Add the canola oil, and once it shimmers, add the chops. Reduce the heat to medium-high and cook, without moving the chops, until they are nicely browned, 3 to 4 minutes. Flip the chops and cook on the other side until browned and the centers resist light pressure, 2 to 3 minutes more. Transfer to a plate and set aside.
- To cook the zucchini: Add the zucchini to the skillet with the salt and cook, stirring occasionally, until the zucchini softens, 3 to 4 minutes. Stir in the herbs, then transfer the zucchini to a medium bowl. Stir in the tomato, olive oil, and lemon juice, then sprinkle with the feta cheese.
- Divide the zucchini among 4 plates and serve with the pork chops.

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.
