This was really really good. We all loved the flavor with the seasonings used. I wanted something different than a pork chop / apple dish. I didn't have pumpkin so used an acorn squash. Also my pork was already cooked and I was looking for a dish to use it up. It was crock pot short ribs so nice and tender and worked really well in this casserole. Served it over a brown rice. Definitely one of my keepers.

Moroccans do not eat pork so this cannot be a moroccan recipe. The majority of moroccans are muslim or jewish. Neither religion allows pork. I think they called this recipe "moroccan" simply because it uses olive oil, and cumin. Or maybe the original recipe was with chicken, beef, or lamb and pork was substituted in.
