Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 boneless pork chops (1-inch thick)
  • 2 cups fresh green cabbage, shredded
  • 1 medium onion, finely chopped
  • 23 cloves garlic, minced
  • ½ cup breadcrumbs (plain or seasoned)
  • ½ cup pork stock or broth (low-sodium)
  • 1 tsp dried thyme
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 2 tbsp olive oil (for sautéing)

Instructions

  1. Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Sauté the chopped onion until translucent. Add minced garlic and cook for an additional minute.
  2. Stir in shredded cabbage, thyme, salt, and pepper. Cook until slightly wilted but still crunchy. Remove from heat and mix in breadcrumbs and enough pork stock to moisten without sogginess.
  3. Cut slits into each pork chop to create pockets; stuff generously with the cabbage mixture.
  4. Heat remaining olive oil in the skillet over medium-high heat and sear each chop for about 4-5 minutes per side until golden brown.
  5. Transfer seared chops to a preheated oven at 375°F (190°C) and bake for 15-20 minutes until fully cooked.
