Pork Chops With Acorn Squash Recipes

Steps:

• Place pork chops in a 5-qt. slow cooker; add squash. In a small bowl, mix remaining ingredients; pour over squash. Cook, covered, on low 4-6 hours or until pork is tender.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 450 degrees, with racks in middle and lower thirds. In a small bowl, combine honey, ginger, mustard, and 1 teaspoon oil. Season glaze with salt and pepper. On a large rimmed baking sheet, toss squash with 1 tablespoon oil and season with salt and pepper. Transfer 8 wedges to another rimmed baking sheet. Roast both sheets of squash 15 minutes.
• Remove sheets from oven and flip squash. To tray with 8 wedges, add scallions and bell pepper, drizzle with 1 teaspoon oil, season with salt and pepper, and brush with glaze.
• Return sheets to oven and roast until squash is tender when pierced with a knife, 10 to 15 minutes. Let sheet with 16 wedges cool completely, then refrigerate for Chicken Cutlets with Mustard Greens and Roasted Squash.
• Meanwhile, in a large skillet, heat remaining teaspoon oil over medium-high. Season pork with salt and pepper and cook until golden brown on one side, about 4 minutes. Flip, brush with remaining glaze, and cook until pork is cooked through, 5 minutes. Serve pork alongside roasted vegetables.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the pork, 1/4 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper. Cook, breaking up the pork, until slightly browned, 2 minutes. Add the garlic, mushrooms, half of the scallions and 2 tablespoons panko; cook 3 minutes. Add the tomatoes, half of the parsley and 1/3 cup water. Increase the heat to high; cook until slightly thickened, 3 minutes.
• Combine the cottage cheese, 3/4 cup Mexican cheese and the remaining parsley in a bowl. Sprinkle 3 tablespoons panko in a 9-inch-square baking dish. Top with half of the squash, overlapping slightly; season with salt. Top with two-thirds of the pork sauce and the cheese mixture. Add the remaining squash; season with salt. Add the remaining 3 tablespoons panko, pork sauce and 1/2 cup Mexican cheese.
• Cover with foil and bake until the cheese melts and the squash is tender, about 20 minutes. Uncover and turn on the broiler; broil until golden, 2 minutes. Top with the remaining scallions.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 425 degrees. Mix the nutmeg, 1 teaspoon garlic and the sage in a bowl. Rub over the pork and season with salt and pepper.
• Toss the squash, apples, onion, the remaining 1/2 teaspoon garlic, the honey mustard, and salt and pepper to taste in a bowl. Spread out on a long sheet of foil. Add the rosemary and 3 tablespoons butter, then bring the ends of the foil together and crimp to seal into a packet. Place the packet on a baking sheet and roast on the upper rack until tender, 30 to 35 minutes. Poke holes in the packet to release steam.
• Meanwhile, heat a large ovenproof skillet over medium-high heat. Add the remaining 2 tablespoons butter, then brown the pork on all sides, about 8 minutes. Add 2 tablespoons water and scrape up any browned bits from the pan, then transfer the skillet to the lower oven rack and roast until a thermometer registers 150, about 15 minutes. Transfer the meat to a cutting board and let rest 5 minutes.
• Return the skillet to medium heat. Add 1/2 cup water, scrape up any browned bits and simmer about 2 minutes. Slice the pork and drizzle with the pan juices. Serve with the squash and apples.

Steps:

• Cut squash in half, remove seeds and strings. Slice each half into 8 slices. Set aside.
• Heat oil in pan and quickly brown pork chops on both sides. Remove from pan and set aside.
• Mix together remaining ingredients, except peas.
• In same pan pork chops were browned, place half of sliced squash. Place chops on top. Add remaining squash. Pour liquid over all and bring to boil. Turn heat to low and cover. Cook until pork and squash are tender, approximately 30 minutes. Remove from pan and keep warm.
• Place frozen peas in pan, cover and cook for about 5 minutes or until tender.
• Plate rice of choice on 4 plates. Top with pork chops and squash. Divide peas among plates.
• Pour cooking liquid over all and serve.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425 degrees. In a large bowl, stir together 3 tablespoons oil, sugar, chile powder, cinnamon, cumin, and 2 tablespoons water. Add squash and toss to coat. Set aside.
• Generously season pork with salt and pepper. Heat a cast-iron skillet or other heavy pan over high. Add 1 tablespoon oil and swirl to coat. Cook pork on all sides until deep golden brown, about 10 minutes total. Place pork on a rimmed baking sheet; pour oil from skillet onto sheet and spread evenly.
• Arrange squash around pork. Brush pork with sugar mixture from bowl. Bake until pork is cooked through (an instant-read thermometer inserted in center should register 135 degrees), 40 to 45 minutes, brushing meat with sugar mixture and turning squash every 15 minutes. Tent pork with foil and let rest 10 minutes before slicing.

Steps:

• Heat oven to 350 degrees. Combine flour, salt, allspice, ginger and pepper; reserve 2 tablespoons. Melt 1 tablespoon butter in a large nonstick skillet on medium. Coat each chop in flour mixture, shaking off excess flour; cook 2 minutes on each side or until browned. Arrange chops in a 9-by-13-inch baking dish. Top each chop with 1 slice squash. To the skillet, add remaining butter. Stir in reserved 2 tablespoons flour mixture and the brown sugar. Mix nectar with Worcestershire sauce. Gradually add nectar mixture to skillet. Cook and stir until thickened. Pour over chops; cover and bake 1 hour or until chops are tender.
