WINTER SQUASH AND PORK STIR-FRY



Winter Squash and Pork Stir-Fry image

This Mark Bittman recipe from 2006 pairs sweet winter squash with earthy, fatty pork shoulder. The grouping, when stir-fried, "gives squash an unusual final texture - somewhat al dente - and keeps its flavor from becoming too sweet," Mr. Bittman wrote. It's a great option for a weeknight dinner, and a far cry from the cut-and-bake squash of the 1970s.

Provided by Mark Bittman

Categories     dinner, easy, quick, main course

Time 30m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

4 tablespoons peanut or neutral oil, like grapeseed or corn
1 pound pork shoulder, cut into thin bite-size pieces or shredded
1 pound peeled winter squash, julienned
2 tablespoons minced ginger
1/4 cup chopped scallions
1 cup any stock
2 tablespoons soy sauce
Minced scallions, chives or cilantro for garnish, optional

Steps:

  • Put half the oil in a heavy skillet or wok and turn heat to high. When hot, add pork and cook, stirring once or twice, until browned; don't worry about cooking it through. Remove with a slotted spoon.
  • Add remaining oil, followed a moment later by squash. Cook, stirring occasionally, for about 2 minutes. Add ginger and scallions and stir; add stock and cook until it reduces by about half. Add soy sauce and cook 30 seconds or so.
  • Return pork to skillet and cook about 1 minute, stirring. There should still be liquid remaining in pan. Garnish and serve.

Yield Makes 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 tablespoons shelled pumpkin seeds (pepitas)
3 pounds winter squash (such as acorn, kabocha, delicata, or butternut), halved, seeded, cut into 1" wedges
5 tablespoons olive oil, divided
Kosher salt, freshly ground pepper
4 1"-thick bone-in pork chops
1/2 small garlic clove, finely grated
3 tablespoons coarsely chopped fresh cilantro plus leaves for garnish
2 tablespoons (or more) fresh lime juice

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 425°F. Spread out pumpkin seeds on a large rimmed baking sheet. Toast, tossing once, until just beginning to darken, about 4 minutes. Let cool. Coarsely chop; set aside.
  • Toss squash with 1 tablespoon oil on a large rimmed baking sheet; season with salt and pepper. Roast squash, turning occasionally, until golden brown and tender, 35-40 minutes.
  • When squash has been roasting for 30 minutes, heat 1 tablespoon oil in a large heavy skillet over medium-high heat. Season pork chops with salt and pepper and cook until brown, 5-8 minutes. Turn over and cook until pork is cooked through, about 3 minutes longer.
  • Whisk garlic, 3 tablespoons chopped cilantro, 2 tablespoons lime juice, reserved toasted pumpkin seeds, and remaining 3 tablespoons oil in a small bowl to combine. Season vinaigrette with salt, pepper, and more lime juice, if desired.
  • Divide squash and pork among plates; spoon vinaigrette over. Top with cilantro leaves.

Tips:

  • Select acorn squash that is heavy for its size, with a deep green or orange color and no blemishes.
  • To easily remove the seeds from the squash, cut it in half lengthwise and scoop them out with a spoon.
  • If you are short on time, you can cook the squash in the microwave. Simply prick the skin a few times with a fork and microwave on high for 8-10 minutes, or until tender.
  • To make the pork tips more flavorful, marinate them in a mixture of olive oil, garlic, rosemary, and salt and pepper for at least 30 minutes before cooking.
  • Pork tips can be cooked in a variety of ways, including grilling, pan-frying, or baking. Be sure to cook them until they are no longer pink in the center.
  • Acorn squash is a versatile vegetable that can be roasted, baked, or sautéed. It can also be added to soups, stews, and salads.

Conclusion:

Pork tips and acorn squash is a delicious and easy-to-make meal that is perfect for a weeknight dinner. The pork tips are tender and flavorful, while the acorn squash is roasted to perfection. This dish is sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
