This is a great recipe, but it takes a bit too long to make. I would try to find a way to shorten the cooking time.

This stew is a bit too spicy for my taste. I would use less chili powder next time.

The butternut squash was a bit too sweet for my liking. I would use less of it next time.

The pork was a bit tough. I think it would be better if it was cooked for longer.

This stew is a bit bland for my taste. I would add more spices, such as cumin, chili powder, and paprika.

This is one of my favorite fall recipes. The pork and butternut squash are so comforting and the spices give it a wonderful flavor. I always add a bit of extra ginger and garlic to give it a little kick.
