Really great and easy recipe, but three things I would change are:
1. cook the kumara separately and add at the end along with the peas
2. cook for longer, the rice was not cooked at 10 mins, this dish took more like 20-25 mins.
3. season with salt and pepper.
But a lovely dish, we all enjoyed it :)
I made this, altering with cheekywombat's changes. Was a bit gluggy but once it had rested was good. My husband really liked it.
