Puha & Mussels Add 10 litres of salted water to your pot and bring it to the boil. Add your Puha and boil for one hour. Pour the puha and the water out into a bowl and leave to stand while you steam your mussels open by adding ¼ cup of water to your pot and using the handles provided lower a basket filled with mussels into the unit. Steam until open, which should be approximately 15- 20 minutes. Add the mussels to the puha with the water they were cooked in and serve the next day with mashed potato or sweet potato/kumara.

Mussel Toroi
Serves 4
1 bunch watercress or puha, well washed Salt 12 mussels, shelled
Boil the watercress or puha in salted water for 10 minutes. Strain. Chop the mussels into small pieces and boil in hot water for 10 minutes. Add the watercress or puha to the mussels and cook for a further 20 minutes. Allow to cool in the mussel juices, then place in airtight jars and refrigerate. This will keep in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks. Serve as a soup alongside your favourite steak.
When buying mussels for toroi, make sure they are the freshest available. Collecting your own is even better.
Pikopiko or turnip-tops can be used in place of watercress and puha if desired for a variation in taste and texture. An extra 10 minutes cooking time will be necessary for the pikopiko, however.

hey that's a long time to cook kaimoana. Think I'll try adding the mussels, after the puha is done without additional cooking
