ingredients you need

This section explains how to choose the best ingredients for stuffed pork chops, the role of each ingredient in the recipe, and substitution options. See recipe card below for measurements.

• Boneless Pork Chops – Make sure to get thick cut pork chops so you can easily slice them for filling. Grilled pork chops with stuffing, this recipe uses boneless meat. Learn more about choosing pork chops in my post on grilled and grilled pork chops.
• mushroom – I use mine Sautéed Mushrooms Recipe For added flavor, but any canned or cooked sliced ​​mushrooms (such as Oven Baked Mushrooms) will work. Canning is a shortcut that doesn’t require cooking, but in my opinion tastes worse than freshly cooked mushrooms. Lisa’s recipe calls for 5 or 6 ounces of ribs, but mine is bigger (8 ounces), so I increased the amount of mushrooms in my filling from 1/3 cup to 1/2 cup. If you used short ribs, you may have leftover filling.
• swiss cheese – You can use pre-sliced ​​or shredded cheese. If using slices, chop them up for easier mixing into the filling.If you are not Swiss, other type of cheese will also work.
• coriander – With such a simple ingredient list, fresh parsley (vs. dried) tastes the best.
• olive oil – For browning roasted stuffed pork on the stove top. I use extra virgin olive oil, but any neutral cooking oil you like will do. Avoid butter, it will burn too much.
• sea ​​salt and black pepper – Convenient for seasoning on meat. Kosher salt can also be substituted for sea salt. If using regular mushrooms in place of my sautéed mushrooms recipe, you will need to add 1/4 tsp more salt to the filling.
• toothpick – These will help keep the filling inside the ribs during cooking.

Variation: Use bone-in vs boneless chops.

Boneless ribs are easier to serve and take less cooking time, but bone-in ribs are tastier. Choose the one that suits you best!
