From the NZ restaurant Kai in the City (a restaurant based on traditional and contemporary Maori kai combined with the best of international cuisine). With purple kumara you may need to add about 1/2 cup of milk to soften the purée. However, if you use golden kumara, which are more moist, you may not need to add any milk. Ingredients:
1 cup flour |
1/2 cup icing sugar |
125 g butter |
1 egg yolk |
2 tablespoons ice-cold water |
1 large egg |
1 cup boiled kumara, plus |
1/2 cup boiled kumara, pureed (remember, you may need to add about 1/2 cup of milk to soften the puree) |
1/4 cup sugar |
2 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened |
1 teaspoon vanilla extract |
1/4 teaspoon salt |
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon |
1/8 teaspoon ground allspice |
1/8 teaspoon ground nutmeg |
Directions:
1. For the base.
2. Process all the ingredients in a food processor until the pastry starts to come together.
3. On a floured bench roll out to fit a 23cm loose-bottomed tart tin.
4. Line the tin with the pastry then line the shell with baking paper, fill with baking beans or rice and bake blind at 180°C for 12 minutes.
5. Cool.
6. For the filling.
