The best Hangi I’ve ever tasted...
Lucky we had our friend and his cousin who’s cooked hangis for Fijian dignitaries here to help!
‘Hangi’…a Maori earth oven, the food cooked underground using red hot rocks and steam
-First we (We’ll technically BP and the guys) dug a hole in our backyard
Made a fire in hole and heated rocks until white hot
-Put a wire rack over the HOT rocks, then quickly laid trays of food on top…pork, lamb, chicken, potato, kumara and pumpkin
-Food trays were then covered with layers of foil, wet sacks...
and lastly dirt
The rocks so hot our food was pulled out only 1 and ½ hours later-cooked to perfection.
DELICIOUS!
Reckon (??!) we might be able try a small one on out own next time…
