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.

Im Maori and I know a good boil up. Its a maori meal. its best with Bacon Bones, Puha, Spuds, Doughboys pumpkin. i prefer it without pumpkin most times. But you dont need to measure ingredients. Just grab a whole bunch of everything and chuck it in a big pot. it doesnt need to feed a certain amount of people. well the way ive been brought up with it we cook alot to feed alot. coz the cuzzies cum ova for a feed, aunties, uncles. its especially good the next day. ask anyone, boil up ALWAYS tastes better the next day.. !and doughboys are a must have in any boilup. and the best greens to use (i love it) is Puha and Watercress Lol thats just me and evryone i know that eats boil up. best meal ever. oh, and Hangi !
can you do this in an electric slow cooker?
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.
