AWESOME PORK CHOPS, FRIED AND STUFFED

Steps:

• Prepare your favorite recipe stuffing or boxed stuffing mix according to directions (adding 1/2 cup extra water) ahead of time. Beat eggs together in a wide bowl. Mix bread crumbs and all the seasonings together on a large plate. Heat oil in a large skillet on low-medium heat.
• Rinse pork chops and shake water off. Dip chop into the egg. Place chop onto the bread crumb mixture and pat both sides making sure that it is evenly coated. Place a single layer of chops into the heated oil. Cook on both sides until browned.
• Place a single layer of chops in a glass baking dish. Cover with the stuffing. Place another layer of chops on top of the stuffing. Cover dish tightly with foil. Bake in oven 350 degrees on center rack for 90 minutes. (If your oven seems to cook things quicker than directed, reduce heat to about 330 or 335).

SUNNY'S CORNBREAD-STUFFED AND FRIED PORK CHOPS WITH HONEY CRANBERRY SAUCE

Steps:

• For the chops: Insert a knife at the top end of each chop with the blade facing away from the bone and towards the fat rim. In a sweeping motion, make a pocket inside each chop without carrying the knife completely through the rim of fat, leaving about a 2-inch hole. Season the chops on both sides with a pinch of salt and pepper. Set aside.
• For the stuffing. In a large bowl, gently combine the crumbled muffins, celery, cranberries, onion, parsley, butter, paprika, sage and enough stock to moisten it. This should not be drippy wet or cakey dry. Taste and season with a pinch salt if needed and a few grinds of pepper.
• Put the stuffing in a piping bag with the largest tip (or use a plastic bag and cut a corner). Squeeze the stuffing into the center of each pork chop and secure the hole with a toothpick.
• For the dredge: Set up a dredging station with the flour in one shallow dish and the buttermilk in a second shallow dish. Season each with a pinch of salt and a few grinds of pepper. Dredge the chops in the flour first, then in the buttermilk and finally back in the flour. Rest the chops in the flour or on a wire rack for 15 minutes.
• For the sauce. In a small saucepot on medium heat, add the jellied cranberry sauce, chicken stock and honey. Cook until the cranberry dissolves and the liquid reduces and becomes slightly thicker, about 5 minutes. Add the thyme and stir in the butter until it melts. Taste and season with a pinch of salt and a few grinds of pepper. Keep warm.
• To fry and serve: Using a Dutch oven, your heaviest pot or a deep fryer, bring at least 4 inches of oil to 370 degrees F. Gently place the chops into the oil without overcrowding; you may need to do this in batches. The temperature will lower while frying; hold it at 350 degrees F. Cook until the chops reach an internal stuffing temperature of 150 degrees F, 10 to 14 minutes. Remove to a wire rack, sprinkle with a pinch of salt and gently cover with aluminum foil, allowing for air to escape so the chops don't steam. Rest the chops 5 minutes like this.
• Serve with a drizzle of the sauce.
