I should have mentioned this recipe when you originally posted the
request but I didn't know if you keep kosher. It is a recipe for
stuffed pork chops that I saw years ago on Over Easy, an old TV show
for oldsters hosted by Hugh Downs. Their recipes were aimed at retired
couples, widows and widowers. This is one recipe that I tried and really
enjoyed. In fact, I should to it again some time.

You will need one thick pork chop, one small onion, one or two carrots,
apple juice and pitted prunes.

Peel and chop potato and carrot. Cut a slit into the chop and stuff
it with the prune(s) and stick a tooth pick in to keep it closed.
Season with salt and pepper and brown slightly in a hot pan. Add equal
parts water and apple juice and toss in the potato and carrot. Cover and
simmer 20 minutes.
