Time 35m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

5 cups 1-inch cubes peeled butternut squash (about 1 1/4 pounds)
1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
3 stalks celery
1 red onion
4 6-ounce pork scallopini, pounded to 1/4 inch thick if necessary
2 tablespoons chopped fresh thyme
3 cloves garlic, sliced
2 tablespoons capers, drained and rinsed
1/4 cup red wine vinegar
3 tablespoons sugar
2 tablespoons chopped fresh basil

Steps:

  • Put a baking sheet in the oven and preheat to 450 degrees F. Toss the squash with 1 tablespoon olive oil, 1/2 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper and spread in a single layer on the hot baking sheet. Roast until the squash is tender and browned on the bottom, about 20 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, chop the celery and red onion and set aside. Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large nonstick skillet over high heat. Season the pork with salt, pepper and 1 tablespoon thyme. Add
  • 2 pork scallopini to the skillet and cook, turning once, until browned and just cooked through, about 3 minutes. Remove to a plate and cover to keep warm. Add 1 more tablespoon oil to the skillet and repeat with the remaining pork.
  • Add the remaining 1 tablespoon oil, the celery, red onion and 1/4 teaspoon salt to the skillet. Cook, stirring, until crisp-tender, about 3 minutes. Add the garlic, capers and remaining 1 tablespoon thyme and cook, stirring, until the garlic is golden, about 3 minutes. Add the squash, vinegar, sugar and 1/4 cup water and cook until the liquid is almost absorbed, 1 to 2 minutes. Season with salt and pepper and stir in the basil. Divide the pork and vegetables among plates.

This dish was a total flop. The pork was tough and the squash was mushy.

The pork was a little dry, but the squash was delicious.

I found this dish to be a bit bland. I think it could have used more spices.

This dish was a little too sweet for my taste, but I think that's just a personal preference. Other than that, it was a great dish.

I'm not a big fan of squash, but I really enjoyed this dish. The sweet and sour sauce really made the squash palatable.

This dish is a great way to use up leftover pork. It's also a great way to get your kids to eat their vegetables.
