Allegiance® Apple and Chorizo Stuffed Pork Chop
Directions
- For the glace, warm two tablespoons of olive oil in saucepan over medium high heat. Whisk in flour and cook until light brown. Remove from heat and reserve.
- In a saucepan whisk together the birria and red wine over medium high heat and simmer for 10-15 minutes. Bring to a boil then slowly whisk in roux until sauce coats the back of a spoon. Hold warm for service.
- Using a paring knife cut a pocket into each pork loin chop.
- Place the toothpick in water and soak for 20 minutes. This will prevent them from burning.

Add apples, and purple power greens to the pan and cook for an additional 3-4 minutes. Remove the mixture from the pan and fold in cotija cheese, basil, and sage. Fold some of the breadcrumbs into pan until it tightens slightly. Cool down.
- Fill each pork chop with stuffing then secure the opening with one or two toothpicks.
- Heat oven to 400°F.
- Spray both sides of pork chop then season with salt and pepper.
- Warm 2 tablespoons of olive oil in sauté pan over medium high heat. Brown stuffed pork chops on each side. Transfer to an oven safe pan and cover.
