Instructions

  • In a large skillet over medium heat on the stove, warm the oil. Add the onion and cook until tender, about 4 minutes. Stir in the garlic and cook for 1 minute more. Add the tomatoes and cook for 3 minutes, stirring often. Add the spinach and cook until heated through, about 2 minutes. Transfer the mixture to a bowl and allow to cool until tepid. Stir in the remaining stuffing ingredients. Divide the stuffing into four equal portions.
  • In a small bowl combine the rub ingredients.
  • Cut a pocket in the side of each chop. Push the stuffing into the pockets and close with toothpicks. Lightly brush the chops on both sides with oil and season evenly with the rub. Allow to stand at room temperature for 15 to 30 minutes before grilling.
