I never got her exact recipe, but I'd like to think that I did my best to replicate it.
Know your Butcher
Or the guy at your local grocery store meat counter. My initial plan was to just grab a package of pork chops and try to butterfly them myself. On a whim, I went to meat counter and told the butcher what I wanted to do.
He sliced a couple of happy-looking pork chops. He cut pockets into the fatty side of the meat that looked like mouths.
They looked like this: happy. And smiling. And me: wanting that lipstick color.

Prepare your Stuffing
Stovetop
Stuff the Chops
Pre-heat your oven to 350. Wipe down the chops with olive oil and season. Widen the mouth of your chop and stuff with Stovetop.

Cook until Done
Check your meat thermometer. Remove from your oven at 150 and let them rest.
It should look like this.
