rice and sage stuffed pork chops
Angeli hosted this month's gourmet club and prepared these mouth-watering rice and sage stuffed pork chops. They were sooooo good. I know I will make these for my family soon.
rice and sage stuffed pork chops (Angeli got the recipe from her Better Homes and Gardens cookbook)
1 cup cooked rice (Angeli used jasmine rice)
1/3 cup shredded carrot
1/4 cup sliced green onions
1/2 teaspoon dried sage, crushed
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon pepper
4 pork loin rib chops, cut 1 1/4 inches thick
dash pepper
1 cup sliced fresh mushrooms
1 tablespoon margarine or butter
2 teaspoons flour
1/4 teaspoon salt
dash pepper
1/2 cup milk
1/4 cup plain yogurt or dairy sour cream
1 tablespoon snipped fresh parsley or 1 teaspoon dried parsley, crushed
For stuffing, in a small bowl stir together rice, carrot, green onions, sage, 1/4 teaspoon salt and the 1/8 teaspoon pepper.
Trim fat from chops. Cut a pocket in each chop by cutting from the fat side almost to the bone. Spoon stuffing into chops. If necessary, secure pockets with wooden toothpicks. Place chops on a rack in a shallow roasting pan. Sprinkle with pepper. Bake in a 375 oven for 35 to 45 minutes or till no pink remains and juices run clear.
Meanwhile, for sauce, in a small saucepan cook mushrooms in hot butter till tender. Stir in flour, 1/4 teaspoon salt and dash pepper. Gradually stir in milk. Cook and stir over medium heat till thickened and bubbly. Cook and stir for 1 minute more. Remove from heat. Stir in yogurt or sour cream and parsley. Heat through but do not boil. To serve, remove wooden toothpicks. Spoon sauce atop chops. Makes 4 servings.

I made this for my husband years ago and he requested it for our Valentines dinner this year. I must have thrown out, (or severely misplaced) my old BHG cookbook ... so I am so happy to find this posting. Thank you. And yes, it is quite good!
