KUMARA OR SWEET POTATO PIE (NEW ZEALAND)



Kumara or Sweet Potato Pie (New Zealand) image

POSTED FOR ZAAR WORLD TOUR 5. This mouthwatering kumara pie is Kiwi. A delicious alternative to pumpkin pie. The sweet potato is first steamed and then blended with a mixture of dark brown sugar, eggs, milk and warm spices like cinnamon, nutmeg and cloves. The mixture is baked in a basic pie shell for about 35-40 minutes. The result is a deliciously smooth, sweet pie with a fragrant aroma. From http://australianfood.about.com.

Time 1h10m

Yield 8 Slices, 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 15

1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
1/4 cup icing sugar
100 g butter, cubed
2 tablespoons ice-cold water
900 g sweet potatoes or 900 g kumara, peeled and cut into chunks
1 cup of loose dark brown sugar
1 cup milk
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1 pinch ground cloves
1/4 cup butter
2 eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
whipping cream (optional)
vanilla ice cream (optional)

Steps:

25 FOODS YOU HAVE TO TRY IN NEW ZEALAND [2023] - NZ …
25-foods-you-have-to-try-in-new-zealand-2023-nz image

From nzpocketguide.com
Estimated Reading Time 8 mins
  • Hangi. Let’s start with the traditional Maori hangi! More than New Zealand cuisine, Hangi is Maori cuisine at its finest. This involves meat and vegetables slow-cooked in an underground oven.
  • Crayfish. Another traditional New Zealand food is Crayfish! Crayfish, also known as lobster, is a Kiwi favourite mostly because it something many fishermen and divers pride on catching themselves.
  • Kina. Ok, New Zealanders love their seafood so we’ll just hop straight onto another foodie delight from the ocean. Kina is the local name for a type of sea urchin with a hard spiky outer shell and thin fleshy (and edible) insides.
  • Kiwi Burger. You’ll either think it’s weird or it’s genius, but it sure is New Zealand cuisine! What makes a “Kiwi burger” Kiwi is the fact it has beetroot and a fried egg along with your standard burger patties and whatever else between two burger buns.
  • Jaffas. Another New Zealand famous food are Jaffas! Rolling onto the sweet stuff, Jaffas are a confectionery favourite among New Zealanders. So much so that they race them!
  • Pavlova. Ask an Australian and they will swear that Oz invented the pavlova. Ask a Kiwi and they will tell you differently. Either way, pavlova is a much-loved dessert in New Zealand made with meringue, whipped cream and fruit.
  • L&P. We’ll sneak a beverage on this list just because it’s very proudly Kiwi. L&P stands for “Lemon & Paeroa” named after the North Island town it was invented in.
  • Whitebait Fritters. Don’t visit the West Coast of the South Island without trying whitebait fritters. It’s considered a sin in New Zealand! Whitebait is a collective term for immature fish, usually around one to two inches long.
  • Manuka Honey. Last on our list of classic food in New Zealand, world-famous Manuka honey! Highly-sought on the international markets, manuka honey is acclaimed for its medicinal purposes.
  • Kumara. Kumara isn’t just a sweet potato; it is an epic sweet potato. Kumara was brought to New Zealand by the early Maori settlers and still remain a favourite vegetable in New Zealand.
