Cool purple mash

Tamara West

I was very excited to come across a new variety of kumara called “radical kumara”. It can be found in organic shops and is the most brilliant intense purple colour — just like beetroot — pretty cool. Going by how excited I was with it, I figured kids might think this purple mash was pretty cool too.

Ingredients

800 g	Kumara, radical variety, peeled and chopped (Main)
1 knob	Butter
¼ cup	Milk

Directions

1. Cook kumara in boiling salted water until soft, approx 10-15 minutes.
2. Drain and mash with butter and milk.
3. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
