- 1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves
- 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 1/4 cup dried cranberries
- Grated zest from 1 orange
- 3 tablespoons orange juice
- 2 tablespoons toasted pine nuts, roughly chopped
- 4 bone-in pork rib chops, 7 to 8 ounces each and about 1 inch thick
- 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
- 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground pepper
- 1/4 teaspoon granulated garlic

- the orange juice.
- Add the cranberries, orange zest, and pine nuts to the
- onion mixture.

- Ask the butcher to cut a pocket in the chops, or use a small, sharp
- knife to cut a 1- to 2-inch horizontal pocket into each chop, cutting all
- the way back to the bone.
- With a small spoon push one quarter of the
- stuffing into each pocket and press to close.
- Add the olive oil to the
- reserved orange juice and brush the chops on both sides.
- In a small bowl
- mix the salt, pepper, and granulated garlic; season both sides of the
- chops.
- With the lid closed, grill the chops over Direct Medium heat (400A degrees to
- 450A degrees F) until barely pink in the center of the meat, 10 to 12 minutes,
- turning once.
- Serve warm.
