Pork and Squash Stew with Chillies

Ingredients for Pork and Squash Stew with Chillies

• 1.4kg boneless pork shoulder (Boston butt), cut into 2" pieces

• 1 cucchiaio di coriandolo macinato

• 10 garlic cloves, finely chopped, divided

• 1 cucchiaio di sale kosher, più altro

• Pepe nero macinato fresco

• 70g raw shelled pumpkin seeds

• 6 dried New Mexico or guajillo chillies

• 2 peperoncini de árbol o 1/2 cucchiaini di fiocchi di peperoncino rosso tritato

• 2 large yellow onions, cut into 1/8"-thick wedges, divided

• 2 cucchiai di olio vegetale

• 4 sprigs oregano

• 1/2 kabocha squash (about 450g ), peeled, seeds removed, cut into 1" pieces

• 1 delicata squash, seeds removed, cut into 1/2"-thick slices

• 1/2 piccola cipolla rossa, affettata sottilmente

• 1/4 tazza di succo di lime fresco

• Coriander sprigs (for serving)

Combine pork, coriander, half of garlic, and 1 tablespoon salt in a large bowl; season with pepper and toss. Cover; chill at least 4 hours.

Preheat oven to 177°C. Toast pumpkin seeds on a rimmed baking sheet, tossing occasionally, until golden, about 5 minutes; set aside.

Toast chillies on clean baking sheet until slightly darkened, about 5 minutes. Let cool slightly, then remove stems, and seeds, if you prefer less heat. Place chillies, half of yellow onion, remaining garlic, and 240ml hot water in a blender; let sit 10 minutes to soften chillies. Blend until smooth; set chilli purée aside.

Heat oil in a large Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Working in batches, cook pork, turning occasionally, until browned, 8–10 minutes; transfer to a plate.

Pour off fat from pot. Cook chilli purée in pot over medium-high heat, stirring occasionally, until reduced by half, 8–10 minutes. Add pork, oregano, remaining yellow onion, and 2400ml water to pot; season with salt and pepper. Bring to a boil, reduce heat, and simmer, partially covered, skimming occasionally, until pork is very tender, 3–3 1/2 hours.

Add squash to stew and cook, uncovered, until pork is falling apart and squash is soft, 30–35 minutes; season with salt and pepper.

Toss red onion and lime juice in a small bowl; let sit, tossing occasionally, 30 minutes.

Serve stew with red onion, coriander, and reserved pumpkin seeds.

DO AHEAD: Pork can be marinated 2 days ahead; keep chilled. Stew can be made 3 days ahead; let cool, then cover and chill.
