1. Step 1

   Preheat oven to 200°C.

2. Step 2

   Wash the kumaras and pat dry. Rub the skin with the oil, place on a baking tray and roast for 45 minutes or until the kumaras give a little when lightly pressed.

3. Step 3

   Meanwhile, combine the butter, chilli sauce and 2 tablespoons of the coriander (this can be done in a food processor). Form into a log, wrap in plastic wrap and freeze for 30 minutes.

4. Step 4

   In a separate bowl, combine the remaining coriander leaves, fried shallots and peanuts. Set aside.

5. Step 5

   Allow the kumara to cool slightly, then cut a cross in the top and press slightly to open. Serve with a slice of chilli butter and a little of the fried shallot mixture.
