Zubereitung von Goat Cheese Stuffed Pork Chops
- Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil and 2 tablespoons of butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
- Using a paring knife, carefully create a 2-inch deep pocket in the thickest part of each pork chop, away from the bone. Gently work the knife back and forth to widen the pocket almost to the bone.
- Set the pork chops aside.
- Sauté 2 stalks of chopped celery in the melted butter and oil mixture for 3-4 minutes until slightly softened.
- Add 1/2 cup of chopped yellow onion and sauté for another 5-6 minutes, until softened and translucent.
- Remove the onions and celery from the skillet using a slotted spoon, reserving as much of the oil and butter mixture as possible in the pan.
- In a medium bowl, combine 1/2 cup of crumbled goat cheese, the leaves from 2 sprigs of fresh thyme, the sautéed celery, and onion. Let the cheese soften slightly from the heat of the vegetables.
- Once the mixture is cool enough to handle, divide it evenly among the pork chops and stuff the pockets generously. Don't be afraid to overstuff!
- Season both sides of the stuffed pork chops with salt and freshly ground black pepper.
- Return the skillet to medium-high heat. Sear the stuffed pork chops for 2-3 minutes per side, until nicely browned.
- Add 1/2 cup of dry white wine (like Sauvignon Blanc) and the remaining sprig of thyme to the skillet.
- Immediately reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for 30 minutes, or until the internal temperature of the pork chops reaches 160°F (71°C).
- Once cooked, remove the pork chops from the skillet and keep warm.
- Discard the thyme sprig.
- Increase the heat to high. Add the remaining 1/2 cup of crumbled goat cheese to the skillet and stir constantly until the sauce is reduced by half and slightly thickened.
- Serve the goat cheese stuffed pork chops over kluski noodles or egg noodles and green beans. Pour a generous amount of the creamy sauce over the chops, reserving some extra for serving.
