Instructions:
-
Prepare Kumara and Pumpkin:
- Begin by boiling the kumara and pumpkin together until they are tender yet still firm to the touch. This typically takes about 10 minutes. Once cooked, drain the water and allow the vegetables to cool slightly.
- Once cooled, cut the kumara and pumpkin into bite-sized chunks, ensuring they are evenly sized for even cooking.
-
Saute Bacon and Garlic:
- In a large pan or wok, heat a small amount of cooking oil over medium heat.
- Add the bacon, sliced into thin strips, and the minced garlic cloves to the pan. Saute the ingredients together, stirring occasionally, until the bacon is crisp and golden, and the garlic becomes fragrant. This process usually takes around 2-3 minutes.
-
Stir Fry Kumara and Pumpkin:
- With the bacon and garlic still in the pan, add the prepared kumara and pumpkin chunks.
- Increase the heat to medium-high and stir-fry the vegetables for 4-5 minutes, or until they are cooked through and lightly browned on the edges. Be sure to toss the ingredients frequently to prevent sticking and ensure even cooking.
-
Serve Hot:
- Once the vegetables are cooked to perfection, remove the pan from the heat.
- Transfer the Kumara and Pumpkin Stir Fry to a serving dish and garnish with a sprinkle of fresh herbs, such as parsley or thyme, if desired.
- Serve immediately as a wholesome side dish alongside your favorite main course or enjoy it on its own for a satisfying and nutritious meal.
