Manuka Honey and Thyme Roasted Kūmara
As we were travelling on the Coastal Pacific, Ava and I lunched gazing out at the sublime Aotearoa landscapes. The scenery was gorgeous; the kai (food) and wine was excellent, too! She had the lamb, and I the chicken, and she kept picking at my kūmara, deeming it a better side! And so it was; so it is! Whichever meat your Sunday Roast is, these beautiful Manuka Honey and Thyme Roasted Kūmara will compliment it gorgeously! Happy Sunday!
Ingredients (serves 4):
4 medium kūmara (orange-fleshed sweet potatoes)
1/2 teaspoon fleur de sel or sea salt flakes
1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
1/2 teaspoon freshly cracked black pepper
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 tablespoon good Manuka Honey
Preheat oven to 200°C/395°F.
Peel the kūmara and cut them into thick slices. Place them in a baking dish and sprinkle generously with fleur de sel, dried thyme and cracked black pepper. Drizzle with olive oil, and toss well, with clean hands, to coat the kūmara in herbs, seasoning and oil.
Place baking dish in the middle of the hot oven, and roast, at 200°C/395°F, 25 minutes.
Then, remove the oven from the oven, and add Manuka Honey, gently tossing the roasted kūmara to coat evenly. Return to the oven and bake, at 200°C/395°F, another 10 minutes.
Serve Manuka Honey and Thyme Roasted Kūmara hot, as a side to Roast Lamb or Chicken.

I can’t wait for this guy to show up in RG Veda. Bonus points if he starts out on Taishakuten’s side. Like, I want to see this guy as an antagonist. And then he gets a crush on Ashura and switches sides (hopefully not until Ashura ages up). Then he can become one of the Six Stars!

Post-midnight repotting madness! The Gasteria was visibly warping its old nursery planter so I gave it the luxury suites. I'm leaving one of the Gonialoes in its old planter for comparison to see if there's any difference or if it doesn't need to move.
I'm also crossing my fingers that I don't lose all of my fan aloes because they seem to love dying whenever they're repotted ;=;

Purple Kumara end being grown near our window sill. Kumara or sweet potato has a fascinating history in New Zealand. Not native to New Zealand or Polynesia, where Maori voyagers originated, its from South America. Hence, historians believe Maori ancestors voyaged to South America from Polynesia and returned with the tuber. Across vast oceans without modern navigational tools. This occurred in the 13th century! #foodhistory #kumara #sweetpotato #aotearoa #nz #newzealand #maori #polynesian #polynesia #southamerica #voyage #growth #plants #tuber #history #newzealandhistory #garden #gardening #photosynthesis https://www.instagram.com/p/CoiDpz4Sdlo/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
