Traditional Māori Boil Up Recipe

Traditional Māori Boil Up Recipe

“Growing up, our Boil-ups mainly consisted of pork bones, bacon bones (cheap but heaps of meat on the bones), mutton or whatever other meat was on Special, Watercress and Puha (Sow Thistles … which aren’t actually thistles.) Mum often added silverbeet, turnip tops or spinach to make it go further. We loved all variations of Mum’s Boil-up. During all my pregnancies I craved Mum’s Boil-up. They comforted me, made me happy, and for some reason they were extra reka (sweet/delicious).”
