Ingredients

  • 4 oz smoked bacon 115g
  • ½ onion large or 1 small
  • 10.5 oz butternut squash 300g, peeled weight - approx 15oz unpeeled
  • 1 clove garlic
  • 1 lb pork tenderloin 450g, or pork loin fillet
  • 1 apple
  • ½ teaspoon dried thyme
  • ½ teaspoon paprika smoked works well
  • ¼ teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • ½ cup light stock 120ml veg/chicken

Instructions

  • Dice the bacon and add to a skillet/saute pan and allow it to render some fat. Meanwhile, dice the onion and squash and finely dice or crush the garlic.
  • Once a little fat is rendered, add the onion. Cook, stirring, for a couple minutes then add the squash and garlic. If it seems to be sticking, add a little oil, while it cooks another 5min while everything softens.
  • While the onion and squash are cooking, dice the Smithfield Original Recipe Loin Fillet and add to the pan. Stir so that the pork browns on all sides. While it cooks, peel, core and dice the apple.
  • Add the apple, thyme, paprika, cinnamon and stock to the pan, stir so well mixed and scrape off any of the flavorful browning on the bottom so it mixes in.
  • Cover the pan, reduce the heat so that it is on a low simmer and cook until the squash is tender and the pork is cooked through then serve.
