| There’s a new market that opened up in my area and I’ve been like a kid in a candy store trying out some of their different products and produce, cuts of meat, fish and fabulous bakery, I could go on and on about this place and I will at a later date as I’ve been invited to a private tour in a few weeks from now. |
 |
| The first time I went I couldn’t resist the tomahawk pork chops that were sitting in the meat case, these things are huge, think Flintstone style, and resemble a small axe, hence the name tomahawk! Berkshire pork is prized for it’s juiciness, flavor and tenderness, it’s the prime rib of the pork loin and weighs in at around 1pound! I never cooked one before but the minute I saw it I knew I was going to stuff it so I asked the butcher to cut me a nice deep pocket, which he happily did! |
 |
| My stuffing consisted of crumbled feta cheese, sliced sun dried tomatoes packed in oil, grated lemon peel and chopped fresh spinach. I used my indoor grill pan to brown it first before I stuffed it then seasoned it with salt, pepper and a sprig of rosemary. I secured the opening with 3 wooden skewers then finished baking it in the same grill pan at 375 in the oven until meat thermometer reached 145. |
 |
| This is very impressive and easily feeds 2 hungry people, and the flavor? Well all I can say is that it’s out of this world! Go try and hunt one down!
Buon Appetito! |

I had growling stomach looking at your post. I might not get over your delicious looking dish and must try this. Yummy! =)
Yummy, yummy! I usually make stuffed pork chops with a semi sweet apple and bread stuffing mix, but I like your savory cheesy,spinach filling!
Oh wow, that looks amazing!
I haven’t eaten a stuffed pork chop in years. yours is making me drool.
Marie, you make EVERYTHING looks so dern good!
Like Pat, I usually do a bread stuffing but this one you’ve created is making my mouth water just thinking about it.
I’ve pinned it…you don’t need a button..others need to install their OWN button on their taskbar!
Thanks for the recipe & the inspiration to try new things.
fondly,

We just went there too and loved the place! How fun to have a wine and cheese bar in a market! My husband makes something very similar with veal chops. Your pork chops look delicious!
This may well be the best looking chop I’ve ever seen and your stuffing sounds delicious.
I got a good laugh over the name. Very appropriate!
I love the stuffing in these. You made a really delicious looking pork chop even more delicious looking!
Wooow, getting ready my grill pan, Thanks for the recipe!
I never thought I’d say this about a pork chop…but it looks amazing!

I love the name! And I can see why… very snazzy. Funny, I don’t remember ever coming across them. I’ll have to look.
This would feel Paul – and then Kirsten and I could split one. Never saw them that huge – but I bet I can find them if I am on a mission! The stuffing alone makes me smile.
Look so tasty, a recipe to try.
Looks so delicious. I sure wish I could pin on Pinterest. Looks sooo Yummy.
