In New Zealand, paua is super expensive. We're talking hundreds of dollars a kilo for a live abalone. These things are already seen as a luxury product, and normal people won't buy it.
When you get hold of this stuff and you feed it to normal people, it's very unique for them. A lot of kiwis have never tasted this product because of the price of it. And it grows everywhere.
Ingredients
Method
For the pork broth
Get 3 kg of pork bones and roast them in the oven until roasted, after put them in a pot with 2 carrots and 2 onions chopped in roughly, add water and simmer overnight until reduced and the flavour has concentrated.
For the black caulifower
steam the florets until soft and blend until smooth, then add black vegetable ash for color and season with salt.
