If ever there was a cut of meat ripe for stuffing, it’s the pork chop. A stuffing—even a simple one—does much to dignify this simple, straightforward cut. The following recipe was inspired by a pizza shop favorite, the calzone. If you like Italian cold cuts and cheese cooked in dough, just wait until you taste them grilled in a pork chop. As with all the recipes in this book, please view this one as a basic guide; you can customize the flavors and fillings to suit your taste.
