  4. Stir in the squash and half the sage and continue to cook until the squash begins to colour and soften.
  5. Pour in the cream, wine and mustard plus 125 ml of the reserved mushroom liquid. Bring to the boil and simmer for 5 minutes, then pour over the pork.
  6. Cover and bake for 30-35 minutes, stirring halfway, until the pork is thoroughly cooked so there is no pink meat and the juices run clear.Add more mushroom liquid during cooking if needed. Season with salt and freshly ground pepper, sprinkle with the remaining sage then serve.
