Traditional Maori Boil Up with Wild Pork, Watercress, and Doughboys

[@Thoeun-uj1sy]

Am Asian I love boil up . Looking at this video and trying it myself lol

[@SweetAsCooking]

Thank you so much. I hope the boil up turns out well for you.

[@Sushidoll349]

I'm Asian married to a Kiwi Maori, I cook this dish every weekend or second weekend for him. I usually use what I can get for example, watercress, cabbage, young pumpkin tips and flowers and maybe sometimes mustard greens, with lots of potatoes (he loves potatoes) carrots if not i use Asian white raddish for sweetness and fresh taro or sweet potato. If it's corn season, he likes a few pieces or corn pieces added to the pot. Meat - has to be PORK BONES 😂 and yes with doughboys 😊 My mum cooks a similar dish and we just call it pork bone veggie soup. 😅 eaten with rice 😊

[@CallOutToJesus_Romans10_13]

Me too. I love bold flavours, but a boil up hits the spot, when needed

[@CallOutToJesus_Romans10_13]

@Sushidoll349 The mustard greens are not the Chinese preserved ones, correct? My grandmother, used to make a pork stew with preserved mustard greens and fermented spy bean paste. Mmmm...love pork stews

[@Sushidoll349]

wow, today with a second chef as support, it's great to see you both. Did you grow the watercress in your own garden? Did you catch the wild boar yourselves ;) lol...Again a great video and I will try this out when I get a chance.

[@SweetAsCooking]

Yes, it is great to have Hata as the cook. We collected the watercress not far from our house. The meat was given to us by friend who is a keen hunter. Happy cooking and thanks so much for your comment. Xx

[@Deborah-h1p]

Too deadly 🖤💛♥️. 👍🏾

[@tanioraaura1274]

I agree this is a good hearty meal. Well done, you two. I mix in chicken stock, too sometimes flour to thicken the soup. With the watercress, i strip off the smaller 🍃 branches and cut the stems into short lengths. Saves doing the rubbing . Champion video Like and Subscribed

[@SweetAsCooking]

Thanks for your lovely feedback. Love your tips on how to add flavor to the boil-up. Great idea about cutting the stems into smaller pieces to skip the rubbing of the watercress. Anke xx

[@tanioraaura1274]

On the side, Good to see you, whallahs using a stainless steel pot . Those aluminum ones are no good for the health. Love that watercress pach. And good one, pick a stem at a time, looks after the plant. Thanks for your reply grateful.

[@jonathantepairi2664]

as a tuhoe ,i grew up in puhatikotiko also known as puha and as a kid growing up boil up was a gospel staple ,meaning we ate it almost daily my best recolletion is wild pork and pikopiko however that depended on the preparation of the meat if the pork was scolded it was good to eat ,,,howevwer if you singe the hair off ,then the flavour of the boil up changed to worthy of the gods and was as we say in maori reka reka reka or basically sweet as ,,,anyway the rest of tne ingridients were kumara ,spuds,and for a treat sometimes when we had some ,corn was added but not part of the main boilup recipe ,along with that we had doughboys and this meal was eaten with takakau(a type of flat bread ) so yummy ,,,,blessings whanau,mahi tonu

[@FordFamily13]

Traditional? Definitely a lovely meal #Didwemaoriusepots???

[@SweetAsCooking]

I guess it depends on how far back you are thinking.

[@biancaeagle]

Any guide on cook times for each step?

[@SweetAsCooking]

Hi Bianca, the cook time depends a lot on the meat you are using. In our case, we let the pork simmer for around an hour. Then we added the watercress. Bring it to a boil again. Once it boils, turn down the heat to let it simmer, around 15 minutes. Finally add your potatoes and kumara ( and pumpkin) which should only take 15 to 20 minutes to be tender. Lastly, I add the Doughboy which only take around 10 minutes. A boil up is very forgiving. You can't go wrong when you slow cook it. So all up 2 to 3 hours. It always tastes better the next day, I reckon. I hope it helps. Cheers Anke

How much butter did you use for the dough boys?

[@SweetAsCooking]

I used 50 grams of butter.

[@melaroha8003]

Kiaora...i know how to cook a boil up it's just the doughboys i don't know how to do, so im doing the doughboys like this cause it looks yummy, my sister when she does her doughboys it comes out rubbery and thats the way she likes it all excep me hahaha. thank you for making this video. Kiaora❤💚

[@SweetAsCooking]

Yes, it can be a bit challenging to get the doughboys to have the right consistency and everyone likes it differently. If you want them light and fluffy, it's best to not overmix, just like scones. I hope it worked for you. 🙂

i’m graving for boil up can some one tell me is all purpose flour okay to use for the doughboys? please

[@CallOutToJesus_Romans10_13]

I had a friend who made boil ups. I loved them. However, she used beef brisket. She is Maori

[@SweetAsCooking]

Definitely. I love boil-ups with beef brisket and puha. Bacon bones are also very popular.

[@CallOutToJesus_Romans10_13]

What is puha?

[@SweetAsCooking]

@@CallOutToJesus_Romans10_13 , puha is a green leafy vegetable also known as sow thistle. It grows wild or you can plant it. You can steam it or cook it in the boil-up. It is delicious.

[@CallOutToJesus_Romans10_13]
