Time 1h25m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 ¼ teaspoons salt, divided
¼ teaspoon pepper
4 tablespoons all-purpose flour, divided
6 lean pork chops
1 tablespoon shortening
1 acorn squash, halved and seeded
2 tablespoons butter
¼ teaspoon ground ginger
⅛ teaspoon ground thyme
1 cup chicken broth
½ onion, finely chopped

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
  • Sift salt and pepper into flour, and rub onto both sides of pork chops, shaking off any excess. Heat shortening in a large skillet over medium high heat. Brown chops on both sides, reducing heat if necessary, and working in two batches depending on the size of your skillet. Remove from heat, and set aside.
  • Peel squash, and slice crosswise into 1/8 inch thick slices. Arrange 1/2 the slices in the bottom of a baking dish. Place pork chops over squash, and top with remaining slices.
  • Melt butter in a small saucepan over medium heat. In a bowl, stir remaining 2 tablespoons flour and 1/4 teaspoon salt together with ginger and thyme; add to butter, and stir. Cook for 3 minutes, then very gradually whisk in chicken broth, avoiding any lumps. Continue to cook and stir until slightly thickened, then stir in onion. Pour over chops and squash, and cover with foil.
  • Bake in the preheated oven for 45 minutes, or until squash is tender and pork is no longer pink inside.

I'm not sure what went wrong, but this dish was a disaster. The pork chops were overcooked and the squash was burnt.

I'm not a huge fan of squash, but this dish changed my mind. The squash was roasted perfectly and had a sweet, slightly nutty flavor. The pork chops were also very flavorful.
