Oh, let me tell ya, makin’ a pork squash dish ain’t no rocket science! You just need a few things from the garden and some good ol’ pork. It’s a hearty meal, perfect for the family, especially when the weather gets chilly.
First off, you gotta gather your ingredients. You’ll need:
- About a pound of pork, whatever cut you like
- One big ol’ squash, like a butternut or acorn
- Onions, two or three should do
- Some garlic, if ya like it
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- Olive oil or any oil you got handy
- A bit of water or broth, for flavor
Now, first thing ya wanna do is get that pork ready. Cut it into chunks, not too big, not too small. You don’t want it to be chewy, you know? Season it with salt and pepper, and set it aside.
Next, peel that squash. It’s a bit of a workout, but you can do it! Cut it into cubes, about the same size as your pork. This way, everything cooks nice and even. Don’t forget to chop the onions and garlic too, ‘cause they’ll add a lovely flavor.
Alright, now grab a big pot or a skillet. Heat up some oil on medium heat. Once it’s hot, throw in the pork. Sear it until it’s nice and browned on all sides. That’ll take about 5 to 7 minutes. Smell that? That’s the good stuff!
Once the pork is browned, take it outta the pot and set it aside. In the same pot, toss in the onions and garlic. Cook ’em until they’re soft and smellin’ sweet, about 3 to 4 minutes.
Now, add the squash cubes into the pot. Stir it around, get it mixed up with the onions and garlic. Let it cook for a bit, around 5 minutes, so it starts to soften up.
Then, add the pork back in. Pour in just enough water or broth to cover the bottom of the pot. You don’t want it swimming, just enough to steam it a bit. Cover the pot with a lid and let it simmer on low for about 30 minutes. Check it now and then, stir it a little if ya feel like it.
After 30 minutes, take the lid off and check if everything’s tender. If it is, you’re ready to eat! If not, cover it back up for a bit longer. Adjust the seasoning if ya think it needs more salt or pepper.
This dish is perfect served hot. You can have it with some bread or rice. Makes for a lovely, cozy meal. And let me tell ya, it’ll warm ya right up on a chilly day!
So there ya go! A simple pork squash recipe that’ll fill your belly and warm your heart. Enjoy cookin’ and eatin’, dearie!
