| There’s a new market that opened up in my area and I’ve been like a kid in a candy store trying out some of their different products and produce, cuts of meat, fish and fabulous bakery, I could go on and on about this place and I will at a later date as I’ve been invited to a private tour in a few weeks from now. |
 |
| The first time I went I couldn’t resist the tomahawk pork chops that were sitting in the meat case, these things are huge, think Flintstone style, and resemble a small axe, hence the name tomahawk! Berkshire pork is prized for it’s juiciness, flavor and tenderness, it’s the prime rib of the pork loin and weighs in at around 1pound! I never cooked one before but the minute I saw it I knew I was going to stuff it so I asked the butcher to cut me a nice deep pocket, which he happily did! |
 |
| My stuffing consisted of crumbled feta cheese, sliced sun dried tomatoes packed in oil, grated lemon peel and chopped fresh spinach. I used my indoor grill pan to brown it first before I stuffed it then seasoned it with salt, pepper and a sprig of rosemary. I secured the opening with 3 wooden skewers then finished baking it in the same grill pan at 375 in the oven until meat thermometer reached 145. |
 |
| This is very impressive and easily feeds 2 hungry people, and the flavor? Well all I can say is that it’s out of this world! Go try and hunt one down! Buon Appetito! |
I’m Marie, a wife, mother, mother-in-law, and gramma of two beautiful girls. My passion is food, clear and simple but especially Italian food, hence the name of my blog, Proud Italian Cook. I want you to feel right at home here so grab a cup of coffee, I’ll get the pastries, take a look around and enjoy your visit! {
Looks so delicious. I sure wish I could pin on Pinterest. Looks sooo Yummy.
Look so tasty, a recipe to try.
This would feel Paul – and then Kirsten and I could split one. Never saw them that huge – but I bet I can find them if I am on a mission! The stuffing alone makes me smile.
I love the name! And I can see why… very snazzy. Funny, I don’t remember ever coming across them. I’ll have to look.
My brother would love that!
Tomahawk, great name. Your stuffing, perfect filling for that grand piece of meat!

Like Pat, I usually do a bread stuffing but this one you’ve created is making my mouth water just thinking about it.
I’ve pinned it…you don’t need a button..others need to install their OWN button on their taskbar!
Thanks for the recipe & the inspiration to try new things.
fondly,
