Method

Ever since I spent a period at the Lanesborough’s sister hotel, the Mansion on Turtle Creek in Dallas, I have been partial to a Margarita or two, so much so that I now use tequila occasionally in cooking. It works perfectly with kumera (orange sweet potatoes) and passion-fruit.

Preheat the oven to 230°C/450°F
