Steps

1. Heat oil in a large Dutch oven or heavy pot over medium-high heat. Season the pork roast with salt and pepper on both sides. Brown it for 4 to 5 minutes per side until deeply caramelized, then remove to a plate.
2. Peel and cut the squash into 2-inch chunks. Scatter them around the pot, then nestle the pork back in. Pour broth over everything, add garlic and thyme, cover, and transfer to a 325-degree oven.
3. Braise for 2.5 to 3 hours, until the pork shreds easily with a fork. The squash will collapse into the braising liquid.
4. While the pork rests, strip the collard greens from their stems, roughly chop them, and sauté in a skillet with a little of the braising liquid for 5 to 6 minutes until tender.
5. Serve the pork and squash with the greens alongside, and spoon some of the pan juices over everything.
