Mānuka Marinated Lamb Rumps with Kahawai Potato Puree recipe


This recipe has been inspired by Tipuānuku, Tipuārangi and Waitā – three stars in the Matariki constellation. Each star represents different elements of kai and these elements have been included by Kasey and Kārena to showcase the unique ingredients that are available here in Aotearoa. 

  • Tupuānuku: is connected to all food grown in the ground, cultivated and uncultivated. It indicates the right time to plant and harvest crops for the coming year.

  • Tupuārangi: is connected to food that comes from the sky. It is an indicator for foods such as birds, berries and fruit. Indicating when to harvest these things.

  • Waitā: is connected to the food that comes from the ocean. Mussels, fish, crayfish, pāua, kina etc. 

Kasey and Kārena have created this recipe to help Kiwis celebrate Matariki – many likely for the first time.

“If you are celebrating Matariki for the first time, spend time together to reflect, plan and celebrate. It is always great to do this around the dinner table, sharing food. Having food that celebrates our unique landscape and ingredients available in Aotearoa is a great way to celebrate Matariki and we’ve created these recipes with that in mind,” says Bird.
