Baked Stuffed Pork Chops
Ingredients
- 2 oz long-grain brown rice
- 2 tbsp vegetable oil
- 4 spare rib pork chops trimmed and boned
- 1 small onion skinned and finely chopped
- 2 oz seedless raisins
- 8 oz can pineapple drained and chopped, juice reserved
- 3 tbsp chopped parsley
- salt and freshly ground pepper
Instructions
- Bring a pan of salted water to the boil and cook the rice for about 30 minutes until almost tender. Drain well.
- Heat the oil in a large pan and brown the chops well. Cool them, then slit three-quarters of the way through each chop to form a large pocket.
- Brown the onion in the oil remaining in the pan. Stir in the raisins with the pineapple, cooked rice, parsley and seasoning.
- Place the chops in a shallow ovenproof dish. Use the rice mixture to stuff them. Spoon round 60 ml (4 tbsp) pineapple juice. Season, cover the dish tightly and cook in the oven at 180°C (350°F) mark 4 for 1 - 1 1/4 hours. Baste once with the juice during cooking.
