KUMARA, LEMON AND PUMPKIN SEED DIP

prep time: 20 minscook time: 20 minstotal time: 40 mins

This is one of those dips that you put on the table in front of people and it’s gone in a matter of seconds. Perhaps because it’s served warm or perhaps just because it is freaking delicious! And it is total healthy too, so no guilt needed when the kids are lapping it up and adding to their daily vege quota.

ingredients:

·      500gms Kumara or sweet potato

·      drizzle of olive oil

 ·      zest of a lemon

 ·      2 tbs lemon juice

 ·      3 tbs chopped coriander (to taste)

 ·      ½ red chilli – finely diced (or ¼ tsp chilli powder) – add more if you like it, leave out if you don’t.

 ·      ½ tsp ground cumin

 ·      ½ tsp ground corriander

 ·      Salt and pepper to taste

 ·      1/4c pumpkin seeds – toasted lightly in a pan and used to garnish

instructions:

1.    Peel kumara, chop roughly and put in a pot of boiling water until tender.

 2.    Drain and mash the kumara.

 3.    Add in other ingredients and mix until desired dipping consistency is reached.

 4.    Spoon into a serving dish and sprinkle with toasted pumpkin seeds

NOTES:

Another super easy recipe!  You can mix and match to your hearts content on this one.  Try lime instead of lemon, add a couple of tablespoons of hummus or swap the paprika for ground coriander.  We love this recipe with red kumara, but use what you have – even pumpkin would taste great.
