Instructions

Apple & Spinach Stuffed Pork Chop

Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
Dice apple, onion, spinach, parsley, and garlic. Finely chop the carrot. In a non-stick pan, saute the apple, onion, spinach, parsley, garlic, and carrot for about 10 minutes.

Pound boneless pork chops with a meat tenderizer, and season each one with salt and pepper.
4 boneless pork chops, Salt, Pepper
Place ¼ cup of the stuffing in the pork chop, roll the pork up and secure with a toothpick. Dip the pork roll in the beaten eggs and coat with seasoned bread crumbs.
2 beaten eggs, 2 cups bread crumbs
Lightly coat a pan with 1 tablespoon of the olive oil, place the stuffed pork chops on it, drizzle with remaining olive oil, and bake for 20 minutes (or until cooked to an internal temperature of 145 degrees).
2 tablespoons olive oil
After pulling it out of the oven, let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing it.

Balsamic Candied Carrots

In a non-stick pan, sauté carrots with olive oil and a dash of salt, pepper, parsley, sugar and garlic, stirring frequently so the carrots do not burn. Cover about half way through cooking.

Once the carrots soften, in about 10 minutes, add the balsamic vinegar. Let cook for another minute.

Serve the carrots with a sprig of parsley.

Preheat oven to 450 degrees. (You could roast slower in the 375-degree oven with the pork but they will take at least an hour at the lower temp.)
Toss cubed potatoes with garlic, onion, salt, pepper, parsley, olive oil, and a dash of paprika and Italian seasoning.
