Hāngī

Vegetables and meat bundled up for a hāngī.

A hāngī is a traditional Māori method of cooking food. Meats like pork, chicken or kaimoana and vegetables such as potato, kūmara and cabbage are placed in a hole in the ground on top of fire-heated rocks and buried for several hours until cooked.
