Pork chops stuffed with mozzarella and prosciutto and then breaded and fried. Pretty straightforward as guilty pleasures go and pretty tasty as well. A little nutmeg goes a long way in giving this dish a bit of personality. All in all, another winning dish from Ada Boni’s The Talisman Italian Cook Book.
