Sunday Dinner

Happy Sunday! Every Sunday we share a recipe so you can cook along with us.

Wild Mushroom Stuffed Pork Chops with Apricot Arugula Salad

Fall is knocking at the door, and that means one thing in my kitchen: mushrooms. It’s peak wild mushroom season, those little earthy jewels are popping up everywhere right now. If you’re the adventurous type, grab a basket and go forage (just make sure you know what you’re picking!). But even if that isn’t your thing, this is hands-down the best time to swing by your local farmers market.

This week’s dinner is a hearty one. We’re stuffing thick-cut pork chops with a savory wild mushroom filling that’s rich with umami flavor and unapologetically cozy. On the side, a bright apricot-dressed arugula salad that balances everything out. Pair it with a glass of wine and you’ve got the perfect end to the weekend.
