Kumara and sausage fritters

Traditionally made in China with local sausage and sweet potatoes, we found kumara and spicy pork sausage from the supermarket worked a treat.

Ingredients

2 medium kumara

sea salt and freshly ground black pepper to season

25 gram butter, melted

2 spring onions, finely chopped

70 gram spicy pork sausage, cooked and finely chopped

1 tablespoon red curry paste

225 gram breadcrumbs

1 large egg

60 millilitre vegetable oil

115 gram mayonnaise

1 teaspoon chilli paste

Method

1.Preheat the oven to 180ºC.

2.Place the kumara on an oven rack and roast until tender, about 1 hour. Let them cool completely. When cooled, remove skin and transfer flesh to a bowl. Mash with a fork until smooth. Season, then stir in butter, spring onions, sausage and curry paste until combined.

3.Shape kumara mixture into 5cm-wide patties (2cm thick). In a large shallow bowl, whisk the egg until lightly beaten. Add the breadcrumbs to another shallow dish. Dip the patties in the egg, then coat them evenly in the breadcrumbs.

4.Heat oil in a large frying pan over medium heat. Cook the fritters in the hot oil until golden, 2 to 3 minutes per side. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to drain. Stir together mayonnaise and chilli paste; serve the hot fritters with the chilli mayonnaise.
