WINTER SQUASH AND PORK STIR-FRY
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.

- 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.

- 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.
