Stuffed Pork Chops with Roasted Hericot Verts

Sunday, February 21st, 2010

Stuffed Pork Chops with Roasted Hericot Verts with wardrobe provided by Parc Boutique!

I have an old meat thermometer that has the “done” temperature for pork marked at 185 degrees. No wonder my “shoe leather” chops were rather unpopular! This stuffed pork chop recipe makes a succulent and perfectly done chop. They are easy to stuff a day ahead and take only 20 minutes to cook. I really like the cornbread in the stuffing not only for it’s flavor, but because it retains some of it’s coarse texture which is very nice with the meat.

I paired this with very fast, simple, and nutty roasted hericot verts with walnuts. Stuffing the chops a day ahead (basically separating the prep from the cooking) makes this a very quick and easy meal.

Squash Ravioli with Sage Butter

Friday, February 12th, 2010

Squash Ravioli with Sage Butter with wardrobe provided by Parc Boutique

“Making ravioli is one of my favorite things to include in my cooking classes. It was a very “special occasion” dish when I was growing up. Let’s face it, it is some work. One of the reasons I like to do it with a class is that many people have never even thought of making their own and it’s so rewarding and fun to do.

The sweetness of the squash filling with the amaretti cookies, parmesan, and nutmeg is perfectly set off by the salty earthiness of the sage butter. That with a little sprinkling of parmesan is all you need for a wonderful first or main course. This is just one of the endless fillings you can come up with. Try making ravioli with children. They love it!”
