  • Make stuffing: In a large bowl, whisk together egg, cumin, ginger, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Add almonds, scallions, and reserved bulgur and apricots; mix to combine.

  • Slice a deep pocket in each pork chop (do not cut all the way through). Fill with stuffing; press to flatten. Place on a broilerproof baking sheet. Rub with oil; season with salt and pepper. Broil until opaque throughout (160 degrees), 12 to 15 minutes. Serve with your favorite chutney, if desired.

Cook's Notes

When cooking stuffed chops and roasts, it is important to check the internal temperature of the stuffing to determine doneness.

Wonderful! I love bulgur wheat and always looking for ways to use it. This recipe is a great for weeknight dinners and a joy to make. I would say the stuffing can pretty much take whatever you want to add to it... herbs, veg, etc...
