1 tablespoon fresh sage, minced

- Whisk together apple juice, egg, sage, celery seed, salt and pepper. Stir in chicken stock and onions. Add bread cubes and mix well.
- Remove bone and most of the fat from the rib chops. Pound very thin using a meat mallet. (Minimize the mess by sealing the chops in a ziptop bag. or placing between sheets of plastic wrap.)
- Place ½ to ¾ cup of stuffing on the chop and roll up, securing with toothpicks or butcher’s twine.
- Heat oil in a skillet over medium heat. Brown the rolls, about 1 minute per side.
