Provided by Food Network Kitchen

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 is a colorful and tasty alternative to coleslaw. Like most gardeners, we usually have an abundance of squash and zucchini in summer, so this dish is inexpensive to prepare and a great way to put this fresh produce to use. -Diane Hixon, Niceville, Florida

KADDU (SWEET AND SOUR BUTTERNUT SQUASH)



Kaddu (Sweet and Sour Butternut Squash) image

This cozy vegetable main is an ode to earthy, maple-y fenugreek, a staple spice of Indian cooking that is a perfect match for the mild sweetness of butternut squash. Normally roasted, butternut squash is gently stewed here with ginger, onion, turmeric, tomatoes and brown sugar, bringing out a unique and addictive sweet-and-sour flavor. Kaddu is traditionally paired with puri, a type of fried bread, but roti, tortillas and even toast work well with this bright and hearty one-pot dish.

Time 25m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

2 tablespoons olive oil
1 teaspoon fenugreek seeds
1/2 teaspoon ground turmeric
1 small yellow onion, finely diced
2 tablespoons minced fresh ginger
1/2 teaspoon red chile powder, such as cayenne
1/4 teaspoon asafetida (optional)
1 medium butternut squash (about 2 pounds), peeled, seeded and cut into 1/2-inch cubes
1 teaspoon kosher salt, plus more as needed
4 medium Roma tomatoes, cut into 1/2-inch cubes
2 tablespoons fresh lime juice (from about 1 lime), plus more as needed
2 tablespoons light brown sugar
2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro (stems and leaves), for garnish

Steps:

  • In a large (12-inch) deep sauté pan over medium heat, warm the oil. Once the oil begins to shimmer, add the fenugreek seeds and cook until they start to sputter, which should be within seconds. Reduce the heat to medium-low and swirl in the turmeric. Add the onion and sauté until it just starts to soften, 3 to 4 minutes. Add the ginger, chile powder and asafetida (if using), and cook for 1 minute. Add the butternut squash and salt, cover and cook until the squash is tender, 10 to 15 minutes.
  • Stir in the tomatoes, lime juice and brown sugar. Reduce the heat to low, cover and cook until the tomatoes are soft but still retain their shape, about 5 minutes. Remove from the heat. Taste and adjust the lime juice and salt according to taste. Garnish with the cilantro and serve warm.
