How to Make Kumara And Gruyere Wedges

  1. Preheat oven to 240°C (475°F/Gas Mark 9). Grease a deep 19cm square cake pan.
  2. In a medium bowl, combine the ingredients for the spicy topping (see below) until well combined.
  3. In a large bowl, cream together 115g (1/2 cup) cold unsalted butter and 225g (1 ¾ cups) all-purpose flour until the mixture resembles breadcrumbs.
  4. Stir in 140g (1 cup) grated Gruyere cheese and 2 tablespoons chopped fresh chives. Add 1 large egg, lightly beaten, and 400g (1 ½ cups) mashed cooked kumara.
  5. Gradually add 50-75ml ( ¼ - ⅓ cup) milk, mixing until a soft, sticky dough forms.
  6. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead until smooth.
  7. Press the dough into the prepared pan. Brush the top with 1 large egg, lightly beaten. Sprinkle evenly with the prepared spicy topping and press gently into the dough.
  8. Using a sharp, floured serrated knife, cut the dough into quarters, then cut each quarter diagonally into 4 triangles, creating 16 wedges in total.
  9. Bake for 15 minutes at 240°C (475°F/Gas Mark 9), then reduce the oven temperature to 190°C (375°F/Gas Mark 5) and bake for a further 10-15 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through.
  10. Remove from the oven and let stand for a few minutes before inverting onto a wire rack to cool slightly.
