====== Cutting a Pork Chop for Stuffing ======
{{ :recipes:notes:stuffed_pork_chop_cuts.jpg?direct&300|}}
  - First off, don't butterfly it! The stuffing will leak out all over the place and be a mess.
  - Insert knife at the top end of the pork chop, near the bone.
  - Slide knife in and create a pocket inside the pork chop from the bone to 1/2" from the edges.  Take it slow; it's easy to poke the knife out an edge and/or into your hand.
  - Keep the original hole small, just big enough for your your thumb to push in the stuffing. 
  - When stuffing, leave 1/2" of empty space at the entry hole.  The stuffing will expand and come squeezing out otherwise.
