So what is a kamo
kamo, I hear you asking? I had never
seen one before either until very recently.
This is a New Zealand vegetable – it's a type of squash – think a large
zucchini but more robust and nutty tasting.
It is also known is kumi kumi.
To prepare the kamo kamo for stuffing just halve it
longways and scoop out the seeds.
Stuffing
ingredients:
Canned tuna (drained)
Cherry tomatoes
Chopped spinach
Mayo
Olive oil
Salt and pepper
Topping –
grated cheese
Just pop the stuffing into the kamo kamo, top with
grated cheese and roast in a moderate oven for about the same time as a potato
would take.
Very nice for lunch.
I've never heard of kamo kamo either. But I really like the idea of stuffing a squash with tuna. Sounds like an easy dinner.

I have not encountered this squash before but it looks like an easy and interesting dish.
ReplyDeleteKamo kamo kumi kumi -- I like it! Nice to meet a new vegetable here. Thanks, Carole!
ReplyDeleteIt looks as large as a watermelon but I see, once you stuffed it that's it a big zucchini like squash. I like tuna so, I would try this.
