Sunkist's Grilled Stuffed Pork Chop

Ingredients:

4 each Pork Chop, center cut, 12 oz.
8 oz. Sunkist Moro Orange Stuffing (recipe below)
1 cup Sunkist Moro Orange Chipotle Glaze (recipe below)

Moro Orange Stuffing:

5 1/3 oz. Prepared Stuffing (Your favorite)
2 2/3 oz. Sunkist Moro Orange, peeled, seeded, chopped
2 teaspoons Fresh Cilantro, chopped

Moro Chipotle Glaze:

1/4 cup Fresh Sunkist Moro Orange Juice
1/2 cup Apple Cider Vinegar
1 3/4 oz. Chipotle Peppers, in adobo sauce, puréed
1/4 cup Soy Sauce, low sodium
2 cups Sugar, granulated

Procedure:

Carefully cut a slit into the side of the meat portion of the chop, moving your knife to form a pocket.

Be careful not to cut through the meat surface.

With a gloved hand, stick a finger into the opening and carefully enlarge the pocket. Fill the pocket with 2 oz. of stuffing.

Brush both sides of the chop with the Sunkist Moro Orange Chipotle Glaze, and mark on the grill.

Place on a pan, and place in a pre-heated 400º oven and cook for 12-14 minutes (or until desired doneness), brushing periodically with the glaze until the chop is cooked through and the stuffing is hot.

Remove from the oven, brush one last time with the glaze and serve with starch and vegetable du jour.
       
Moro Orange Stuffing: In a mixing bowl, blend the stuffing, Sunkist Moro Orange pieces, and the cilantro. Hold under refrigeration, covered, until needed.

Moro Chipotle Glaze:

In a large saucepot add all the ingredients and stir together. Bring to a boil and reduce to a medium high heat.

Watch the pot so that the liquid does not boil over.

Cook until the sauce is reduced and coats the back of a spoon, forming a glaze, 20-30 minutes.
