6 medium pork center loin chops -- 1" thick
1/4 cup golden seedless raisins
1/4 cup celery -- finely diced
1/4 cup dried apples -- finely diced
8 ounces mushrooms -- sliced
1/2 cup sherry
1 clove garlic -- minced fine
1 teaspoon fresh ginger root -- minced fine
2 tablespoons butter -- divided
2 tablespoons olive oil -- divided
1/2 cup low sodium beef broth
1/4 cup low-sodium teriyaki sauce
2 tablespoons flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
1 teaspoon five-spice powder

Finely dice enough mushrooms to make 1/4 cup. Put in small bowl along
with raisins, celery and apples. Add sherry and let soak for 15
minutes.
Trim fat from pork chops. Make a slit through center of chop lengthwise
being careful not to cut all the through to the other side.

Drain fruit stuffing reserving the rest of sherry. Put stuffing in
pocket of chop. Fasten with skewer or toothpick. Keep any stuffing left
over.
Mix flour, salt, pepper and five spice well on a plate. Dip chops in
flour mixture shaking off excess. Keep rest of flour mixture.
Melt 1 tablespoon of butter along with 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a
large frying pan over high heat. Brown chops on all sides. Remove from
pan. Add remaining butter and oil. Reduce heat to medium. Add garlic and
ginger and cook for a minute. Add rest of mushrooms and any remaining
stuffing and cook for 5 minutes stirring to keep from burning.

Add beef broth, teriyaki sauce and remaining sherry to pan. Deglaze the
browned bits from bottom of pan. Add pork chops. Cover and simmer on
low for 30 minutes.

Remove chops from pan. Add remaining flour mixture to pan and raise
heat to high. Cook stirring until gravy thickens and sauce reduces
about 3 minutes. Pour over chops.
