These pork chops were inspired by a dish I had at Luna Park in San Francisco: "Breaded Pork Cutlet Stuffed with Mushrooms and Swiss Cheese with Mashed Potatoes, String Beans and Pecan Peach Compote"

  • 1/2 cup Medjool dates, pitted and coarsely chopped
  • 1/2 cup water (omit if using canned cranberry)
  • 1/2 cup rice wine vinegar
  • 3 tablespoons sugar (or more to taste)
  • 1 tablespoon minced fresh ginger
  • 1 cinnamon stick, broken in half
  • 1/2 teaspoon cloves
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cayenne pepper
  • Kosher salt, to taste
  • Pork Chops:
  • 4 boneless, all natural pork loin chops-1" thick with pockets for stuffing
  • Kosher salt, white pepper
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 1 cup canola oil (or light olive oil)
  • Filling:
  • 1 cup shredded Emmentaler Swiss cheese (or Gruyere if you prefer)
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 1 shallot, chopped
  • 2 cups assorted wild mushrooms (or just cremini mushrooms)
  • 3 sprigs fresh thyme leaves
  • kosher salt, white pepper to taste
  • Breading:
  • 1 1/2 cups all purpose flour
  • 2 eggs plus 2 tablespoons water, beaten
  • 1 1/2 cups Panko (Japanese bread crumbs)
  • Marinated French Green Beans:
  • 1 pound French green beans, stem end removed
  • 1 shallot, finely sliced
  • 1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon champagne vinegar (or white wine vinegar)
  • 2 tablespoons lemon juice
  • 1 tablespoon sugar
  • 1 teaspoon lemon zest
  • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
  • 2 tablespoons fresh tarragon, chopped
  • Kosher Salt to taste

Directions
  1. Chutney: Combine all ingredients in a saucepan over medium heat. Cook for 20 minutes, stirring frequently, to blend flavors. Remove from the heat, cool and remove cinnamon stick.
  2. Stuffed Pork Chops: Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Make pockets in chops and lay them out on cutting board. Cover loosely with plastic wrap and with a mallet (or rolling pin) pound out the chops until 1 inch thick. Season with kosher salt and white pepper on each side.
  3. Melt butter in nonstick sauté pan; add mushrooms and shallots, Sauté until mushrooms are slightly caramelized. Season with thyme, salt and white pepper. Allow to cool slightly then add grated cheese.
  4. Stuff each pork chop pocket with about 1/4 cups of stuffing. Coat each one with flour, dip in beaten egg then panko, pressing chops down with your hand so the breadcrumbs adhere. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
  5. Melt butter and canola oil in large skillet over med-high heat. Add pork chops and brown on each side, about 3-4 min per side or until golden brown. Transfer pork chops to lined baking sheet, bake for 15 minutes in oven or until the cheese starts to ooze out.
  6. French Green Beans:
  7. Cook beans in large pot of boiling salted water until crisp-tender, about 1 1/2 to 3 minutes. Drain. Transfer to bowl of ice water to cool. Drain and dry well with a clean towel.
  8. Combine the shallots, olive oil, vinegar, lemon juice, zest sugar, Dijon and tarragon in a small bowl. Toss the beans with the vinaigrette in a bowl, refrigerate until serving.
  9. To plate: Cut each pork chop in half at an angle, place on serving plate with side of French Marinated Green Beans and Asian Pear chutney
