Cured Chops with Jalapeno-Cornbread Stuffing

[cowgirl]

I did a quick dry cure on some pork chops using a mix of 1TBs tenderquick and 1 tsp of turbinado sugar PER pound of meat.
After rubbing the cure on the chops, I let them cure for about 2 hours, then rinsed.

The cured chops...




I made my stuffing using some jalapeno cornbread. The cornbread already contains jalapenos, whole corn and onions, so I added a bit of melted butter, chicken broth and some thyme.





The stuffed cured chops...seasoned with a bit of cracked black pepper...




I smoked them using hickory....

Thank you for checking out my chops!
