4 1 inch thick Ty Siriol pork chops3 Tbsp butter1 big baking apple (like Gala), peeled, cored and diced8 rations of Ty Siriol bacon, diced1 large red onion, diced3 cloves garlic, finely diced4 fresh sage leaves, finely chopped1/4 tsp smoked paprika1 Tbsp lemon juice1/2 Tbsp Sea salt1/2 tsp Black pepper
Pre heat the oven to 180C.
Start by cutting a “pocket” lengthways down the side of your pork chops.
Grab a medium frying pan and melt 2 Tbsp of butter over medium heat. Add your onion and cook until transparent, then add the apples and bacon and cook until the bacon crisps up.
Add the garlic, sage, paprika and lemon juice and toss for 2 minutes, this is your stuffing. Remove from the heat, and set aside.
Now get your chops and season each side with salt and pepper. With the help of a spoon stuff the "pocket" of each chop with as much stuffing as you can fit in it and use toothpicks to close the entrance and prevent spilling. You should have quite allot of stuffing left over, this will be served on top.
Put a heavy bottom, oven proof, frying pan on a high heat with 1 Tbsp of butter. then add the chops and cook each side for 5 minutes.
Transfer pan to the oven and bake uncovered for 35 minutes.
To serve, warm the remaining stuffing and spoon it on top of each chop, serve with seasonal braised cabbage or spinach.
