Kumara mash – serves 3
Ingredients
350g peeled kumara
40g butter
40g miso
Salt
Instructions
Chop kumara into small, even pieces and place in a pot with enough cold water to cover.
Add a pinch of salt and bring to the boil. Lower the heat to a simmer and cook for 10 minutes or until the kumara is very tender. Strain most of the liquid, reserving some to help adjust the consistency. Mash until smooth, for best results, blend in a food processor.
In another pot, gently heat butter until golden brown and reaches a ‘nutty’ aroma. Whisk in miso then add mixture to kumara. Mix and adjust seasoning with salt.
