Pumpkin is a great alternative to traditional potatoes as a side dish for pork. Pumpkin is just as filling and nutritious, but much healthier. Its naturally sweet flavor makes a wonderful contrast with the meat, especially when balanced with the tartness imparted by wine vinegar and capers. The resulting flavor is perfectly balanced and unique. Pan-fry pork escalopes and serve them with sweet and sour pumpkin. With this side dish, you won't need any additional sauces.

Cooking the dish according to the recipe:


  1. Place the baking sheet in the oven and preheat to 230°C (450°F). Toss the pumpkin with 1 tablespoon of olive oil, 1/2 teaspoon of salt, and a small amount of ground black pepper and spread it in a single layer on the hot baking sheet. Roast until the pumpkin is tender and crispy on the bottom, about 20 minutes.
  2. Meanwhile, chop the celery and red onion. Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large nonstick skillet over high heat. Season the pork with salt, pepper, and 1 tablespoon thyme. Add 2 pork scallops to the skillet and cook, turning once, until browned and cooked through, about 3 minutes. Transfer to a plate and cover to keep warm. Add another 1 tablespoon oil to the skillet and repeat with the remaining pork.

  3. Add the remaining 1 tablespoon oil, celery, red onion, and 1/4 teaspoon salt to the skillet. Cook, stirring, until tender, about 3 minutes. Add the garlic, capers, and the remaining 1 tablespoon thyme and cook, stirring, until the garlic is golden, about 3 minutes. Add the squash, vinegar, sugar, and 1/4 cup water and cook until almost all the liquid is absorbed, 1 to 2 minutes. Season with salt, pepper, and basil. Divide the pork and vegetables among plates.
