Honey Ginger Pork with Acorn Squash

 

Ingredients

for the pork:

• 1 lb. pork shoulder or pork butt
• ⅓ cup soy sauce
• 3 tablespoon honey
• 2 garlic cloves minced
• 2 tablespoon fresh ginger grated
• salt to taste

for the squash:

• 2 acorn squash sliced and seeds removed
• 2 tablespoon butter melted
• salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

• Place the pork, soy sauce, honey, garlic, and ginger in your slow cooker and cook on HIGH for 3-4 hours.
• Once pork has been cooking for 3 hours, begin cooking the squash.
• Preheat oven to 425°. Slice the acorn squash and remove the seeds. Place the squash in a bowl and drizzle it with the melted butter, and sprinkle with salt and pepper.
• Place the squash on a large baking sheet and roast it for 20 minutes, then flip it over and roast for an additional 10-15 minutes or until it's fork tender.
• The pork is done once it's VERY easy to shred -- it should basically fall apart. Shred the pork with two forks.
• To serve: place the roasted squash on a platter or large plate, then top it with the shredded pork. Enjoy!
