Stuffed Pork Chops with Sauteed Spinach and Steamed Rice

by

This flavorful meal can be made quickly on a weeknight.  It’s filled with the earthy aromas of autumn.  There are so many possible variations on the filling but we found this one a perfect complement to the pork.  The sauce is delicious spooned over the rice as well.

    I always want to come to your house for dinner. Everything always looks so good! That is a fantastic shot of the dinner plate. (the pork chop looks succulent)
    Interesting shot of the Island. It looks beautiful there.

    Oh, we love stuffed pork chops..my recipe has bread cubes, apples, thyme and celery. I think the bread crumbs would make it easier to stuff…plus I love your addition of mushrooms. Bill and I have been to the Isle of Mull…did you go to Fingal’s Cave? So beautiful…and the puffins…one of the best memories from our Scotland trip.
