"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!"

ingredients

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

directions

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.

We love to eat :) I'm an island girl living in Seattle, WA who loves to cook! I enjoy cooking for my family and friends, and I don't find many things more satisfying than sharing food and good memories with them. Plus they always seem to be hungry--perfect! <img src="http://i250.photobucket.com/albums/gg271/MrsTeny/Permanent%20Collection/PACSpring09Participation.jpg"> <img src="http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b399/susied214/permanent%20collection/Adopted1smp.jpg" border="0" alt="Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket"> <img src="http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b399/susied214/permanent%20collection/smPACp.jpg" border="0" alt="Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket">
