Tropical Baked Kumala image

Kumala (or Kumara), is such a versatile ingredient that can be prepared so many different ways. I played around with this rendition from Wattie's and have found something that works just great!

Time 35m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

4 medium kumara (orange or golden)
1 dash oil
1/2 cup well drained crushed pineapple
1 teaspoon minced fresh ginger (optional)
2 -3 trimmed and chopped spring onions
340 g corned beef (try a lower fat, lower sodium version(you won't taste the difference!)
1/4-1/2 cup grated cheese

Steps:

  • Wash the kumala and dry well. Trim the ends. Rub the kumala with oil and place on a baking tray. Cook at 200oC for 45-50 minutes or until well cooked. Alternatively prick the kumara with a fork and microwave on high power for 15 minutes or until tender.
  • Slice a top off each kumala and scoop the flesh into a bowl.
  • Add the pineapple, ginger, spring onions and Corned Beef and mix gently with a fork to break up the corned beef and mix the ingredients lightly. Do not mash.
  • Re-fill each kumala with 1/4 of the mixture and return or place on the baking tray. Sprinkle each with a little grated cheese.
  • Cook at 200oC for 15 minutes until piping hot and golden.
