RECIPE OF THE WEEK: Spicy Roast Squash with Stir Fried Coconut Pork

Serves 4

For the pork:

500g pork loin
small can coconut cream
1 tsp coriander stalks
1 tsp salt
halt tsp white pepper
2 tbsp soft brown sugar
dash dark soy sauce
2 tbsp fish sauce
2 tbsp vegetable oil

For the squash:

1-2 dried red chillies
1 tsp coriander seeds
half tsp ground cinnamon
salt and pepper
1 large squash like Butternut, or 
2 small squash (this recipe works with any type of squash)

For the dressing:

1-2 limes, zest and juice
1 tbsp soy sauce 
1 tbsp soft brown sugar
1 red chilli, finely chopped
1 clove garlic, finely chopped
5 spring onions, finely sliced
1 bunch coriander, finely chopped

1. For the pork: Mix all of the ingredients together in a medium sized bowl, cut the pork into strips, and coat in the marinade. Leave in the fridge for at least three hours.
2. For the squash: In a pestle and mortar, grind together the dry ingredients until fine. Pour a couple of tablespoons of vegetable oil into deep sided baking tray, add the spices and mix into the oil.
3. Slice the squash into even sized pieces, place in the tray and coat well with the spiced oil. Put in the oven at 180*c for 45 minutes to an hour, until it is nice and soft and easy to mash. This leaves plenty of time to make the dressing and to stir fry the pork.
4. For the dressing: In a bowl, mix together all the ingredients until well combined and taste to see if it needs more lime, sugar or soy. It needs to be reasonably punchy to compliment the sweetness of the pork and squash.
5. For the pork: Heat a wok until very hot, around 10 minutes before the squash is ready, and fry off the pork in its marinade until cooked. The marinade should create a delicious sauce that will keep the pork moist as you cook it.
6. Take the squash out of the oven and chop roughly but do not mash. Place on the plate and pour a generous amount of the limey dressing over it. Place the pork on top of the squash and spoon over some of the coconut sauce.
