Rewana with kawakawa pesto

Cook time:30 minutes

Prep time: 1hr 10 minutes

300 gm white flour

100 gm wholemeal flour

220 orange kumara, cooked and mashed

230 ml water

1 tsp yeast

1 tsp salt

1 Tbsp fennel seeds (or any herbs)

Pesto

10 kawakawa leaves

(mixer of holes and non)

1 cup curly parsley

1 cup flat leave parsley

1 cup coriander leaves

1 cup sunflower oil

salt and pepper

1 cup almonds, toasted and crushed

1 cup parmesan, finely grated

Mix together flour, yeast and fennel seeds

Add salt and mix

Add mashed kumara and water and mix

Once you have a dough with no dry bits pop it into a oiled loaf tin and pop somewhere warm with a tea towel on top for 1 hour

Preheat the oven to 200*c and bake for approx 30 minutes. Or until it has a nice hard golden top.

Leave to rest for 30 minutes on a rack before eating.

To make up the kawakawa pesto, place the parsley, coriander and oil into a blender and blend in quick bursts. Do not over heat, otherwise you will lose the colour. Add in half the kawakawa and blend. Season and taste. If you can't taste the bitter tones of the kawakawa add a little more until you can.

Finish with the almonds and parmesan.

Serve alongside the bread.
