Apple and Sage Pork Rolls

Servings:
2

Ingredients:
2 Boneless Pork Chops (1/4 lb. each)
1 small Sweet Onion, minced
1 Granny Smith Apple, peeled, cored and chopped
8 fresh Sage Leaves
1 Tbl. Olive Oil
1 Omega 3 Enriched Egg
2 Tbl. Almond Flour
Fresh ground Black Pepper

Directions:
Preheat oven to 375° F.
To make the stuffing - Heat Olive Oil in a large frying pan over medium-high heat. Add Onion, Apple, and Sage Leaves to pan. Cook and stir for a few minutes until softened.
Remove pan from heat and crack egg into pan and mix well. Add Almond Flour and Black Pepper to pan.
Set pan aside and allow stuffing to cool.
Butterfly cut the Pork Chops. Pound pork thin with a meat hammer. (I don't have a meat hammer, so I just lightly scored the meat in a criss-cross pattern on both sides.) This will get the pork thinner, easier to roll around the stuffing, and absorbs more flavor.
Place stuffing on top of the flattened pork and roll it up. Secure the pork rolls with toothpicks or tie with twine.
Back for approximately 35 minutes, or until pork is fully cooked.

This was inspired by a Paula Dean recipe, except I opted out of the butter and salt ;)
The pork roll was super juicy and savory, I will definitely make it again soon!
