Blue cheese wontons

Blue cheese wontons (Māori: ngā motumotu-tīhi-kahurangi) are a common New Zealand street food from Te Aro in Central Wellington, typically consisting of wontons stuffed with blue cheese, which are then deep fried and traditionally served with raspberry jam or coulis.[1][2] Wontons are a popular food among Wellingtonians in general, owing to the city's sizeable Chinese community. Originating in the Cuba Precinct of Te Aro in the 1990s, they have become popular throughout other Wellington suburbs a cheap snack served in cafés and restaurants.[3][4] The cheese used can vary but is often stilton, gorgonzola or kahurangi, and some recipes call for chunky Wellington-style peanut butter and coriander.[5][6][1]
