Kiwi Boilup - All in One Meal
Kiwi Boilup - All in One Meal
added by Purplegoanna

A hearty one-pot meal made with the very basics, a New Zealand Fav. Full of natural flavours and goodness as the only extras added are salt & pepper. Even better re-heated the next night.

Hi - Im a kiwi so I have a pretty good idea in the boil up department - the recipie should work fine with butternut pumpkin and really any squashes.. for a traditional boil-up this recipe has missed a kiwi staple which is dough boys. They are pretty much the same as dumplings (just self-raising flour and water, mix to a scone consistency, then roll into medium size balls). Place on top of the boil up about 15 - 20 mins before serving and place lid on top. The balls will rise and should be cooked through - cut through the middle when served and add lashings of butter - not for the faint hearted!!

Sounds like a pretty nice recipe, but do you know if it would work with other squashes instead of Pumpkin? As I'm not growing pumpkins but I have some Butternuts on the go this year.
