Aotearoa - Vegan Boil Up
25 mins
Serves 4
Vegetarianism is growing rapidly in New Zealand, but other parts of the world have had meat-free cuisines for centuries. For a rich and varied plant-based diet, talk to Chinese, Indians, Mexicans… Our wonderful volunteers have shared authentic recipes from around the world. Most of these recipes were traditionally vegan, but some were meat-based recipes that have been ‘veganised’. We have collected 31 recipes from 31 different countries to share with you – one for each day of October, World Vegetarian Month.
This is a traditional Maori boil up. Thanks to Sam La Hood for the recipe.

Ingredients
- Root vegetables e.g. potato, kumara, carrots
- Vegetable stock
- Liquid smoke
- Garlic (optional)
- Watercress
- Vegan meat e.g. Vegetarian Beef Chunks from the Blissful Vegetarian
Directions
- First, chop up some root vegetables.
- Bring these veges to the boil in some stock.
- Add some liquid smoke. This is the most important ingredient for the true boil up flavour – but be careful, as it’s a strong ingredient! Add a little and try it.
- Then, if you want, add some garlic.
- After this, put some watercress on top and cover the pot.
- Let it cook until the veges are close to cooked
- Then add your favourite vegan meat and cook it for another 5 minutes (this might be longer for some vegan meats – add those a little earlier), then it’s done!
