Squash with Pork Guisado (Sautéed Squash with Pork)

Ingredients :

• 1 whole butternut squash
• pared, seeded and sliced
• 1 tbsp. vegetable oil
• 1/2 lb. pork, sliced
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 onion, chopped
• 2 tomatoes, chopped
• 2 cups water
• patis (fish sauce), salt and pepper, to taste
• chopped green onions, for garnishing (optional)

Cooking Procedures :

1. In a pan, heat oil over medium heat. Cook pork until it turns slightly brown.
2. Add garlic, onions and tomatoes. Sauté for a few minutes until tomatoes wilted.
3. Add squash slices. Season with patis, salt and pepper. Stir-fry for few minutes until well blended.
4. Pour in water and bring to boil. Cover, lower the heat and let it simmer until squash is tender (or mushy, if you like. Like what I always do).
5. Correct the seasonings according to your style and liking.
6. Remove from heat. Transfer to a serving dish. Garnish with green onions (if using) and serve.
