Servings: persons

2/3 cup medium-grain bulgur wheat
1/4 cup dried apricots, finely chopped
1 large egg
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
Coarse salt and freshly ground pepper
1/4 cup sliced almonds
2 scallions, trimmed and thinly sliced
4 boneless center-cut pork chops (each 8 ounces and 1 inch thick)
1 tablespoon olive oil
Chutney, for serving (optional)

1
Heat broiler, with rack set 4 inches from heat source.
2
Place bulgur and apricots in a fine sieve set in a bowl; cover with boiling water, and let soak 5 minutes.
3
Drain and rinse with cool water; press on bulgur and apricots to remove excess water.
4
In a large bowl, whisk together egg, cumin, ginger, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon pepper.
5
Add almonds, scallions, and drained bulgur and apricots; mix to combine.
6
To stuff pork chops (see below), make a deep slit in each pork chop, being careful not to cut all the way through.
7
Fill with stuffing, dividing evenly; press to flatten.
8
Place pork chops on a baking sheet.
9
Rub with oil; season with salt and pepper.
10
Broil (without turning) until pork and stuffing are cooked through (an instant-read thermometer inserted into stuffing should register 160F), 12 to 15 minutes.
11
Serve pork with chutney, if desired.
12
Use a paring knife to slice into the chops to create a pocket, then stuff the chops with bulgur mixture, packing it firmly inside (and allowing some to spill out, if desired) before flattening with your hands.
