Method:
Place the kumara in a roasting tray and rub with thyme oil. Roast in a pre-heated oven (200 ̊C) for about 10-15 minutes or until the kumara is tender and brown.
Mix together all ingredients for the dressing, then gently toss the cucumber, tomato, basil and cheese with the dressing.
Rub the venison with the second helping of thyme oil and mustard then sprinkle with dukkah. Grill the venison on a hot chargrill to medium rare, about 3-4 minutes per side. Season with sea salt and black pepper during grilling. Remove from the grill and rest the meat for about 6-8 minutes.
To serve:
Add roasted garlic to the kumara, fold in the cucumber and tomato salad and arrange on 4 plates. Slice the warm venison thinly and arrange evenly on top of the salad.
