Stuffed Winter Squash with Lean Pork Roast
Ingredients
Meat
- 3 pound pork roast
- 1/8 teaspoon salt
- 1/8 teaspoon black pepper, ground
Serve With
- 4 medium rolls, dinner, wheat
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
- Cut squash in half lengthwise; remove seeds. Place squash halves, cut side down, in a shallow baking dish and bake 40-45 minutes or until almost tender.
- Meanwhile, dice cooking apples (to yield about 1 1/2 cups) and celery (1/4 c). Stir apples and celery together with walnuts, sugar and cinnamon.
- Turn squash halves cut side up. Sprinkle lightly with salt.
- Spoon apple mixture into squash halves and return to oven and bake, covered, about 25 minutes more or till apple is tender.
- Slice in 1/4 inch pieces and cook in a skillet on the stove or in the oven until no longer pink in the middle. Season with salt and pepper. You could also throw the pork in a slow cooker for a few hours, and it will be perfectly shreddable! Serve about 3 ounces of meat with half an acorn squash and a wheat roll.
