Instructions

Stay Awake

1 Preheat oven to 200°C. To make rosti, combine kumara, potato and salt in a bowl. Stand for 5 minutes then squeeze out liquid. Whisk eggs and flour together. Add to kumara with red onion.

2 Heat oil in a non-stick pan over a medium heat. Mould rosti mix in 4 pattie shapes. Cook in a hot pan (press down firmly) for about 3 minutes on each side or until lightly browned.

3 Transfer rosti to a baking tray. Bake uncovered for about 8 minutes until golden and firm.

4 To make beans, heat oil in a large non-stick pan. Add onion and garlic and cook until soft.

5 Stir in tomatoes, beans and vegetables. Add paprika, chilli sauce and stock to pan. Bring to the boil. Reduce heat and simmer uncovered for about 10 minutes or until thick.

6 Remove from heat, stir in parsley and serve with rosti and grated cheese on the side.
