4 medium kumara Bake the kumara, until soft. Cool a little then slit open and scoop out the flesh into a bowl leaving a 1cm shell around the outside of the kumara.
Combine the flesh with the mashed banana, salt and pepper. Stuff back into the kumara. Reserve any extra for another meal occasion. Wrap 1-1/2 rashers of the bacon around each kumara.
When ready to serve, grill on the barbecue, turning often, until the bacon is cooked.
Serves 4.
