02 Jun Roasted tītī (mutton birds) with pūhā and kūmara
As a result of a meeting in Invercargill earlier this month with our mates at Healthy Families, our CEO Leonie was met with an exceptional display of hospitality. Leonie came away from the meeting with rekindled relationships, a briefcase in one hand and a bucket of tītī in the other. Our Finance Lead, Matire Seath shows us how to cook these salty delicacies in this recipe.
