Ingredients
Directions
1. Preheat oven to 350F/180C.
2. Cut squash into large pieces (halves, quarters or eighths, depending on size) and seed. Arrange on baking sheet, skin side down and brush with the olive oil and sprinkle with pepper and salt to taste. Bake for about 35-45 minutes, until the flesh of the squash is very soft and mushy. (If the squash is browning too quickly, cover with foil and continue cooking until soft.)
3. While the squash is baking, trim all the separable fat from the pork steaks. Place between two layers of waxed paper or cling film and pound with a meat tenderizer or rolling pin until each steak is uniformly about 1/4 to 1/2 inch thick.
4. Remove squash from the over and allow to cool. When cool enough to handle, use a spoon/knife to scoop the flesh off the skin. Mash the squash. Remove 1 cup of the squash and set the rest aside for use with another meal.
5. Mix the sage into the 1 cup of mashed squash. Add pepper to taste. Spread the squash mixture evenly over the pork steaks. Fold the steaks in half or roll up (as you prefer).
6. Place the steaks in a baking dish and cook in the oven at 350F/180C for approximately 20 minutes or until the steak is done.
7. Serve with green vegetables and a nutty grain of your choice.
