Pan-seared crab stuffed pork chop

A crab-studded pork chop makes its own stuffing-bound supper when seared in a skillet and finished in the oven. The meat is tender and juicy, the filling seasoned; this shelf does the heavy lifting. Serve with any green vegetable or salad.

Serves 2. 25 minutes, 8 at the stove.

You need

From your shelf

  • 2 crab stuffed boneless pork chop

Staples

  • 2 tablespoons oil
  • to taste salt
  • to taste pepper

  1. Heat 2 tablespoons oil in a skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering. Pat the two pork chops dry and season both sides with salt and pepper. When the oil is hot, lay them in the pan and sear for three minutes without moving them, until golden on the underside, then flip and sear the other side for three minutes.
  2. Transfer the skillet to a 400°F [200°C] oven and bake for eight to ten minutes, until the thickest part of the chop reads 145°F [63°C] on an instant-read thermometer. The chops are done when opaque throughout and the crab filling is heated through.
  3. Let the chops rest in the skillet for two minutes off heat, then slide them onto a plate and serve warm.

Note The pork chops are already seasoned and filled, so this is really about heat and timing. Leftovers keep, covered, for two days and reheat gently in a 325°F [160°C] oven. Serve with roasted asparagus, a simple green salad, or steamed broccoli.
