Method
Preparation of Pork Chops
Stuffing the Pork Chops
In a skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add fresh spinach and cook until wilted. In a bowl, combine wilted spinach, crumbled cornbread, and dried cranberries. Mix well and stuff the pork chops with this mixture. Season the outside of the chops with salt and black pepper.
Wrapping with Bacon
Wrap each stuffed pork chop with two slices of bacon, securing with toothpicks if necessary.
Cooking the Pork Chops
Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). In a hot skillet, sear the bacon-wrapped chops for 3-4 minutes on each side until golden. Transfer to the oven and bake for 20-25 minutes until cooked through.
Roasting Cauliflower
Preparing the Cauliflower
Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). Toss cauliflower florets with olive oil, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Spread evenly on a baking sheet.
Roasting
Roast in the oven for 25-30 minutes until golden brown and tender.
Whipping Sweet Potatoes
Boiling Sweet Potatoes
Peel and cube the sweet potatoes. Boil in salted water until tender, about 15-20 minutes.
Making Apple-Shallot Gravy
Finishing the Gravy
Pour in chicken broth, add salt and black pepper, and let simmer for about 10 minutes until slightly thickened.
