The rich orange flesh of the Beauregard kumara pairs beautifully with warm ginger and sweet spices.
Serves: 4–6
INGREDIENTS
1 kilogram orange kumara, peeled, cut into large chunks
small knob butter
⅓ cup sour cream

¼ teaspoon each ground cinnamon and nutmeg
sea salt and ground pepper
2 tablespoons cream

Preheat the grill.
Cook the kumara in a saucepan of boiling salted water until tender. Drain then return to saucepan and place over a low heat to drive off excess moisture.
