Hidden From Sight - A Tasty Puha Boil Up

We head off in search of some tasty puha from the maize paddocks. This time the puha was hard to spot as it was growing flat amongst the weeds.
I give a couple of tips on picking and also why rub puha before cooking.

Looks like your foraging brings you such joy, happiness, and food for your Ohana. Teach your daughter those foraging skills! 🌺

[@WekaDigitalMediaNZ]

Unfortunately she doesn't want to learn foraging and growing kai

[@phyllisuwekoolani5985]

@WekaDigitalMediaNZ Don't give up on her, she just may change her mind when she gets a bit older!

[@WekaDigitalMediaNZ]

@@phyllisuwekoolani5985 I think she takes after her mother 😬😅

[@laylownz1089]

How long does it take to cook puha friend

[@simonkupa5041]

I'm glad I was eating a double cheese and bacon burger for the last bit, Mike. lol Made me hungry. You are right tho a boil up the next day is always better, sweet

[@WekaDigitalMediaNZ]

Haha not quite the same delicate fatty taste of boil up though Simon 😃

[@user-vi9pc1gb6w]

I had a boil up yesterday bro awesome to see you and rubber again love your videos from my old home town off Whakatane

[@charlie77577]

Was walking to work at 6am this morning my friend and I stopped In at our local bakery to buy our hot drinks, and a Māori guy approached us with $10 bags of prickly puha. He had washed them clean and broken them down nicely. Could not resist..They will be for toroi😊 Nurses feast😋

[@user-fr7gj5gy9f]

What a cool reply....thanks. I get puha in the bio gardens by the Opera house....good stuff...area maintained well by Sydney council.

[@WekaDigitalMediaNZ]

A coffee and a bag of puha makes for a perfect start to the day 😀

[@nitaz1]

Haven't been out picking puha for ages but good to see you and Rubba out doing it. Lovely and fresh and crunch when you pick it you can't beat it. Delicious boil up to finish, great work Mike 😊

[@debramage739]

Loved it, haven't had a boil up for so long. Love Rubba and her tail wagging, and smile. Happy dog😊

[@francisheperi4180]

I remember foraging for puha (late 50's) on the roadside to Te Iringa with my grandmother and preparing them for the pot like you did.... nice memories.

[@WekaDigitalMediaNZ]

Great skills to pass down, people can learn of KZbin now too.

The whitebait spot is not like it used to be thanks to the regional council 😒

[@kelvinvandermerwe1575]

Yummo bro

[@WekaDigitalMediaNZ]

Very much so 🙂

[@fredpretorius1047]

Don’t want to tell you to suck eggs, however have you thought about smoking some of the pork for the boil up rather than pan searing?

[@samaradaly6838]

Pork bones and Thai geen curry paste and coconut milk. Solid az chur

[@WekaDigitalMediaNZ]

I have done a vid of a smoked meat boil up and to be honest I only sear the meat because it looks fancy. 😀

[@fredpretorius1047]

Thanks for the reply. Love your Webber taste test videos. They convinced me to get that little Webber and I tell you it’s great!

[@geeblood2764]

Was that a grim reaper lure?

[@BTCxyz369]

You stole that puha from in front of my beach house...

[@WekaDigitalMediaNZ]

And what a front garden it is
