Pork Two Ways & Win a $250 Cotsco Prize Package!

I am doing well with my original goal of one recipe a month for A Bubbly Life! Last month, I had a fig crostini and today, I am sharing TWO recipes featuring boneless pork chops!

The first recipe is a favorite of my husband’s – Brie, Apple & Rosemary Stuffed Pork-  He is a sucker for anything with brie and pork is his favorite meat; words are not enough to describe his excitement on eating not only one, but two pork meals in a week.

The second recipe is my Slow Cooker Pork Peanut Butter Red Curry.  Last week, the plague some minor colds hit our house and a warm, spicy curry is one of the best, comforting foods for a cold.  Also, you barely need to do anything except add all the ingredients to a slow cooker- which when I am sick is about all I have the energy to do!

Brie, Apple & Rosemary Stuffed Pork- Serves 2

Ingredients:

2 Boneless pork chops (3/4 to 1 inch thick)

1/2 of a large apple- small dice

1 large shallot- very small dice
1/4 cup of chicken broth
6 slices of brie cheese, rind removed
1/2 teaspoon chopped fresh rosemary

Salt & Pepper to taste

Directions:

Preheat oven to 425.
Saute apples for 2 minutes, add onions & chicken broth, saute for 2-3 minutes, softening the mixture.
Score any fat on pork.
Cut a deep slit in pork in the middle for filling.
Sprinkle salt, pepper and chopped rosemary on pork- including inside of slit.
Stuff 1-2 pieces of brie into pocket and fill pocket with apple & onion mixture, layering another slice of brie at end.
Insert toothpicks to close pork.
Drizzle a bit of olive oil in pan and brown pork on all sides on high heat (approximately 3-5 minutes).
Transfer to baking dish.  Bake for 25 minutes.
Let rest for 10 minutes before serving, garnish with a rosemary sprig!


Slow Cooker Pork Peanut Butter Red Curry- Serves 4
Ingredients:
2 boneless pork tenderloin chops- cut into 1 inch pieces

1 can of coconut milk
1/2 cup of Chicken broth
1/4 cup of creamy peanut butter
Splash of Fish Sauce
1 tablespoon Soy Sauce

Lime juice- about 1/2 of lime
2 Teaspoons Red Curry Paste
1/2 teaspoon Red pepper fakes
2 cloves of minced garlic

1/4 teaspoon of minced ginger
1/2 tsp minced Lemongrass

To be added in last hour of cooking:
5 Green onions, roughly chopped, reserve some thin slices for garnish
2 cups of sliced mushrooms
3 red peppers- chopped in long slivers, reserve two for garnish

*Optional- Chopped peanuts for garnish

Directions:
Add all ingredients except last three to slow cooker.
Cook on high for 4 hours, adding in the veggies the last hour of cooking.
Alternatively, you can cook on low for 7-8 hours, but I usually only have time to add to the slow cooker during my baby girl’s nap 🙂
