method
1. Slice the pork chops horizontally through the width on the side opposite the bone to make a pocket, leaving a 25 mm (1 in) border uncut all around the chops. Season with pepper, bring to room temperature, then season with salt and more pepper.
2. in a small saucepan heat 25 g (1 oz) of the butter and saute the finely chopped onion and celery for 5 minutes, or until soft, stirring constantly. Add the grated grapefruit zest, grapefruit juice and breadcrumbs and season with salt and pepper to taste. Leave to cool.
3. Heat the grill, without the grid to high. Stuff each pork chop with one quarter of the stuffing and sew up the cut side with strong thread.
4. When ready to grill, brush the grid of the grill pan with a little olive oil. Place the pork chops on the grid and grill 7.5 cm (3 in) from the heat for 5 - 6 minutes on each side or until cooked through, basting constantly with the remaining butter.
5. Remove the thread from the pork chops and arrange on a heated serving platter. Serve immediately.
