Directions

1. For the pork chops, make the spice rub by combining the cumin and next 3 ingredients in a small bowl, mix well. Season the pork chops with a generous pinch of salt and spice rub on all sides. Let sit at room temperature for 20 minutes so the meat can come up to temperature and the dry rub can really marinate the chops.
2. Meanwhile, make the maple glaze by pre-heating a small pot over medium heat with 1.5 tablespoons of butter. Add the onion along with the next 4 ingredients, ½ teaspoon of salt and a couple cracks of pepper. Cook for 6-7 minutes, sitting often, until the onions soften up a little bit. Add the bourbon and cook until almost all of it has evaporated, about 1 minute. Add the maple syrup and chicken stock, bring to a simmer, and cook until the mixture has reduced by half. Add 1 teaspoon of vinegar and give the glaze a taste, it will most likely need another ¼ salt and possibly 1 more teaspoon of vinegar. You want the flavors to be sweet, spicy, and tangy. Take off the heat and strain the glaze through a mesh strainer, put aside.
3. Make the stuffing by combining all ingredients in a small bowl and mix well. Stuff the pork cops with 2 tablespoons, or enough to where you can see that you have a good amount in there.
