Method:

- Cut off the tops of each one, scoop out the flesh and place this flesh in a large bowl. Set aside the skins.
- Mash the flesh with a fork and stir in the spring onions, Gluten Free Weet-Bix™ wheat biscuits, cottage cheese, parsley, curry powder and season to taste with salt, freshly ground black pepper and lemon juice. Still well to combine.
- Spoon the mashed mix back into each of the kumara. Place on a baking tray and sprinkle over a little grated cheese. Turn the oven grill to high and grill the kumara until the cheese has melted.
- Serve baked kumara while hot or cold sprinkled with snipped chives or parsley and with a salad or fresh steamed vegetables.
