CHEF JOHN'S PUMPKIN-BRAISED PORK
You'll see this titled 'Pig in a Pumpkin' on the blog even though we're not using a whole pig, we're using a whole pumpkin! If you're looking for a fun, and very seasonably appropriate way to cook some pork shoulder, I can't think of a better, or more beautiful one, which is why I really hope you give this a try soon. Season the pork any way you want. I plated mine up with buttery mashed potatoes and Brussels sprouts.

Steps:
- Cut pork into large chunks. Place in a bowl. Add salt, pepper, cayenne, thyme, fennel seeds, rosemary, and shallots. Mix thoroughly and cover pork with parchment paper. Refrigerate to let flavors develop, 8 hours to overnight.
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
- Add flour to pork and mix to coat. Heat oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Cook pork in 2 batches until browned, about 3 minutes per side.
- Insert the tip of a knife at a 45-degree angle into the top half of the pumpkin. Slowly cut all the way around to remove the 'lid'. Scrape seeds and fibers off the bottom of the lid and inside of the pumpkin using a large spoon or ice cream scoop.
- Line the bottom of a baking pan with parchment paper and place pumpkin on top. Stuff the pumpkin with the browned pork; pour in cider. Cover with the top.
- Bake in the preheated oven until pork is very tender, about 4 hours. Pour in a little more cider after a few hours in the oven, since a lot of it evaporates. Remove from the oven and let rest; brush pumpkin with some of the rendered fat from the bottom of the pan.
- Scoop pork onto serving plates and cut out pieces of pumpkin to serve alongside. Combine remaining rendered fat with cooking liquid from inside the pumpkin. Let sauce rest for a few minutes so you can skim off most of the fat. Spoon sauce over the pork.

MASHED PUMPKIN
This dish is often eaten with roti ( a local flatbread) but it will make a great vegetable side dish to any meal. What West Indians call pumpkin is actually calabaza squash.

- Place the meat in a large saucepan or small Dutch oven with the unpeeled onion, unpeeled garlic, half of the peppercorns and 2 teaspoons of salt. Add water to cover by about 1 inch. Bring to a boil over high heat; at once reduce the heat to maintain a low rolling boil and skim off any froth that rises to the surface. Cook, partly covered, until tender, 45 minutes. Lift the meat into a bowl, letting it drain very well. Strain the stock back into it. You should have about 3 to 4 cups.
- Bring 1 cup of water to a boil in a small saucepan. Add the dried chiles and cook, uncovered, until softened, about 5 minutes. Drain and set aside.
- Cut the unpeeled pumpkin into 8 equal-size chunks, removing any seeds and strings. Add it to the stock, along with water--if needed--to completely cover the pumpkin, and bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce the heat to maintain a low rolling boil and cook until tender, about 30 minutes. Lift out the chunks of pumpkin. Place in a colander to drain well, and let cool to room temperature. Reserve about 1 cup of stock.
- Scrape the flesh of the pumpkin from the skin and into a bowl; discard the skin. Mash thoroughly with a potato masher or pestle. Set aside.
