Grilled pork chops have a lovely stuffing of couscous, cherries and seasonings in this quick and elegant main dish. Served with a salad, itâs perfect for special occasions, but speedy enough for everyday family suppers. Ingredients:
1 package (5.6 ounces) couscous with toasted pine nuts |
6 boneless pork loin chops (1 inch thick and 6 ounces each) |
1/2 cup dried cherries |
1 tablespoon brown sugar |
1 tablespoon butter, melted |
1/2 teaspoon minced fresh gingerroot |
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder |
1/2 teaspoon pepper |
Directions:
1. Prepare couscous according to package directions. Meanwhile, cut a deep slit in each pork chop, forming a pocket. Stir the cherries, brown sugar, butter and ginger into prepared couscous. Stuff 1/3 cup into each chop; secure with toothpicks. Sprinkle with garlic powder and pepper.
2. Grill pork chops, covered, over medium heat for 10-12 minutes on each side or until a thermometer reads 160°. Discard toothpicks. Yield: 6 servings.
