Crumbed walnuts, so labelled, are available in the baking aisle at most supermarkets; if you can’t find them, simply coarsely chop whole walnuts. Try other vegetables in the kumara filling, such as chopped spinach, peas, corn or green beans. Starting the cooking process of the kumara in the microwave reduces the cooking time by more than half. However, if you don’t have a microwave, you can do step 2 in the oven. Wrap kumara in foil, roast at 200°C for 40 minutes; unwrap and proceed with the recipe.
