Matariki Ahunga Nui is a Māori proverb which translates to 'The Great Mounds of Matariki', referring to how food was stored over the holiday in large piles and shared among the community - not unlike our delicious mussel fritters! Make sure to celebrate Matariki this weekend and share some kai with whānau and friends.

Kūmara and Mussel Fritters
To serve
Method
- Preheat the oven to 140°C.
- In a wide saucepan with a lid, steam the mussels with ¼ cup of water until they begin to open (you may need to do this in batches). Set aside to cool. Remove the mussels from the shell, removed the beard and tongue and roughly chop and put into a large bowl.
- Peel and grate the kūmara (approx 3 packed cups) and add to the mussels along with the spring onions. Add the self-raising flour, salt, dried horopito (or chilli flakes) and nori. Mix until fully combined.
- Whisk together the eggs and the milk then stir into the kūmara until well combined.
- Heat the oil in a large frying pan over a medium heat. In batches drop in spoonfuls of the batter into the pan, shape into fritters and fry for 3-4 minutes on each side until golden. Remove and keep warm in the oven while you make the remaining fritters.
- In a bowl, whisk together the sour cream with the horopito and chilli flakes and set aside.
- Serve fritters on a bed of watercress with a good dollop of Anchor sour cream and a lemon wedge.
