Mediterranean Spinach-Stuffed Bone-In Pork Cutlets topcook.tomathouse.com
Ingredients:
- 4 natural pork cutlets on the bone, 4-5 cm thick.
- 55 g crumbled feta cheese
- 1/2 cup chopped frozen spinach (thawed and drained well)
- 2 tablespoons chopped olives
- 2 tbsp chopped sun-dried tomatoes
- Canola oil
- Salt and ground black pepper
- Equipment: 4 wooden skewers (soak to prevent burning)
Preparation:
- Preheat an outdoor grill or grill pan over medium heat. Preheat the oven to 400°F (205°C).
Using a kitchen knife, carefully cut a slit in the side of each patty to create a pocket for the filling. In a medium bowl, combine the feta, spinach, olives, and sun-dried tomatoes.
- Fill each patty with the mixture and season each with 1/4 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Secure the patties with wooden skewers or toothpicks (remove them before serving).
- Grease the grill grate with oil to prevent meat from sticking.
Grill the patties until well browned, 6-8 minutes, turning every few minutes to create crispy grill marks. Transfer the patties to a baking sheet and finish cooking in the oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 140°F (60°C).
