minutesOrange kumara is the sweetest and creamiest of all the varieties available in New Zealand. A kiwi version of a very popular, easy frittata recipe.
Ingredients
1 medium size orange kumara (about 500g) – pre cooked, and cut into small cubes
4 rashers of bacon, chopped
1 medium size white onion finely chopped
2 courgettes – sliced
8 eggs
3/4 cup grated tasty cheese
1 small handful of fresh thyme
A little oil for frying
Salt and pepper to taste
Directions
- Pre-heat grill to medium, or the oven to 170°C.
- In a bowl whisk the eggs together and season with salt and pepper. Add herbs to the egg mixture.
- In a 26cm frying pan or similar fry the bacon and onion until just cooked. Add the cooked kumara and courgette.
- Pour the egg mixture over the bacon and vegetables in the pan and stir to mix evenly. Continue to cook for about 1 minute then add half the cheese and stir again gently to allow the runny egg to flow onto the bottom of the pan.
- Sprinkle remaining cheese on to the top of the frittata and finish cooking under the grill (or just bake in the oven) until set and starting to golden.
Notes
- NB You’ll need to use an oven proof pan or small casserole dish if you want to cook this in the oven.
- You can used any left over kumara in this recipe.
- Alternatively cook a raw kumara on med-high in the microwave for approx 4 minutes (NB prick the kumara skin a few times with a fork, to stop the skin exploding when cooking).
