Apricot and Mint Stuffed Pork

Need a meal for one? This Apricot and Mint Stuffed Pork is my go-to recipe when apricots are in season and perfectly ripe. It’s easy to prepare and absolutely delicious. 

Pork chops are always a can’t-lose dinner and don’t need much fussing. Here, you butterfly a thick-cut pork chop, slicing horizontally, then stuff it with fresh chopped apricots, minced garlic, chopped fresh mint, and a little bit of butter. And then, you grill the meat to perfection on a grill pan. Let the pork chop rest for a few minutes before serving to allow the juices to redistribute. While the meat rests, toss a handful of baby arugula with fresh mint leaves, thinly sliced radish, and lemon juice. Season with salt and black pepper to taste. That’s your salad. Serve the grilled pork chop with the prepared salad for a light and healthy meal. Enjoy! 

To make the Apricot and Mint Stuffed Pork, you will need the following ingredients:
