Modern Redaction

Ingredients:

1kg Gourd (green Chinese squash or butternut squash) peeled, seeded and diced.
3 medium onions finely chopped
700ml beef stock
125g cubed pork
2 egg yolks, beaten
salt to taste
Powder douce
5-6 strands of Saffron ground into 1 tbsp water in a pestle and mortar and allowed to seep.


Method:

Preparation

Place the pork in a pan and cover with water. Bring to the boil, season with salt and simmer for 40 minutes. When done set the meat aside to cool.

Meanwhile, peel and cube the squash and place in a pan along with the onions. Pour the broth over this, bring to the boil and reduce to a simmer. Cook for about 15 minutes.

Meanwhile either pound the cooked pork in a pestle an mortar or mince the meat finely. When the initial fifteen minutes are up add the pork and cook for a further ten minutes or until the squash is just tender.

At the end of the cooking time, stir in the Powder douce, saffron (along with the seeping liquid) and the egg yolks. Serve in bowls as a vegetable side-dish.
