Zubereitung von Brined Stuffed And Grilled Pork Chops
- **Brine the Pork Chops:** In a 2-quart container, whisk together 1/2 cup kosher salt and 1/4 cup brown sugar in 2 quarts of cold water. Add 4-6 bone-in pork chops (about 1.5 inches thick), ensuring they're fully submerged. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or up to 4 hours.
- **Prepare the Stuffing:** While the pork chops brine, cook 4 slices bacon in a large heavy skillet over medium heat until crispy. Remove bacon, reserving 2 tablespoons of bacon grease. Chop the bacon and set aside.
- **Sauté Vegetables:** Add 1/2 cup chopped celery, 1/2 cup chopped onion, and 2 cloves minced garlic to the skillet. Sauté in the bacon grease until softened, about 5-7 minutes.
- **Add Herbs:** Stir in 1 tablespoon fresh rosemary, 1 tablespoon fresh sage, and 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley. Cook until fragrant, about 1 minute.
- **Season Vegetables:** Season the vegetable mixture with salt and pepper to taste.
- **Combine Stuffing Ingredients:** In a large bowl, combine 2 cups crumbled cornbread (or sourdough bread), 1/2 cup dried cranberries, and 1/2 cup chicken stock. Add the cooked vegetable mixture and chopped bacon, stirring until well combined.
- **Preheat Grill/Oven:** Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (or oven to 400°F).
- **Prepare Pork Chops:** Remove pork chops from brine and pat completely dry. Season generously with salt and pepper.
- **Stuff the Chops:** Spoon about 1/2 cup of stuffing into the center of each pork chop. Use toothpicks to secure the stuffing.
- **Grill or Bake:** Grill the pork chops for 5-7 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature reaches 145°F. Alternatively, bake in a preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 145°F.
- **Rest and Serve:** Remove from heat and let the pork chops rest for 5 minutes before serving. Enjoy!
