Pork chops are easy to cook and they always make a delicious meal, be it for lunch or for dinner.

Ingredients for 4 persons:

  • 4 pork chops, cut thick
  • 2 onions, chopped
  • 80g Emmental cheese, cut in small cubes
  • 1 tsp dried sage or 4-5 fresh sage leaves
  • 4 bacon slices, large enough to be wrapped around the chops
  • salt and pepper to taste
  • olive oil for frying the chops
  • 4 toothpicks (for helping the bacon slices hold around the chops)

The first step in cooking stuffed pork chops is making the stuffing. This is a video illustration of how to chop the onions. I found it useful. I hope you’ll like it too.

Mix the chopped onions with the cheese, add salt and pepper, the dried sage and other spices according to your personal preferences. Cut a pocket in each pork chop and fill it with the stuffing mix. It’s easy, just put a quarter of the mix in each pocket, so they all cook at the same time.

Carefully wrap each pork chop in a slice of bacon, then fix it with a toothpick. Don’t forget to remove the toothpicks after cooking.

Fry the wrapped chops in olive oil for about 10 minutes on each side.

Serve with mashed potatoes or with steamed vegetables.

Onions add flavor to almost any recipe, so they are good to use. Our expert shows you how to properly chop onions in this free cooking video. Expert: Ben Hardy Bio: Ben Hardy has worked in the food service industry for the past 10 years. Ben’s cooking experience spans from Fast Food, Fine Dining, working as a Camp Chef to being a Kitchen Manager. I found his method rather strange. I’d rather leave one of the onion endings so I can hold it from there, then cut is in small pieces from the start, without needing to move the knife so much across the chopping board. How do you chop onions?
