Stuffed Pork Loin Chops

• 3 tbsp olive oil
• 2 bacon rashers
• ½ onion
• ½ cup breadcrumbs
• 1 tbsp sage
• ½ cup grated green apple (skin on)
• To taste salt and freshly ground pepper
• 2 tbsp natural yoghurt
• 4 pork loin chops

1. Preheat oven to 180°C.
2. Heat 1 tbsp of olive oil in a small pan and gently cook bacon and garlic until tender.
3. Transfer finely chopped bacon rashers and finely chopped onion to a bowl and mix with fresh breadcrumbs, finely chopped sage, salt and pepper, grated green apple (skin on) and just enough yoghurt to loosely bind the stuffing together.
4. Take a sharp knife and make an incision in each pork loin chop, about 3cm long along the bone.
5. Fill each incision with the stuffing mixture.
6. Heat a frying pan over high heat with 2 tbsp olive oil and quickly brown the chops on both sides.
7. Transfer to a baking dish and continue to cook for 20 minutes or until chops are cooked through.
