Hi Readers
Like I said in an earlier blog post, we have been learning about the Maori culture. We have been talking about a Hangi. Which is when a roast is cooked underground. This originated in NZ and it is now a big part of the Maori culture.
You start your hangi by digging a hole in the ground big enough to fit all your food. Then you light the wood and volcanic rocks on fire. It is best to use volcanic rocks as normal rocks may explode. Then you can start preparing the food. Put the food that you wish to cook nearby. Clear away any wood that is still burning. A good time to start this process is when the rocks are white. Place the stones side by side in the hole. Then starting hitting the rock with a wet sack to create steam. Then start putting your meat in the hole, on the second layer, place the vegetables. Then put a wet sheet covering the food and make sure that it is covering the sides of the pit, not touching any stones. Then place the wet sacks over the food. Then cover the whole thing with dirt, make sure no dirt gets on your food. wait about three hours and then uncover food, being careful you don't get dirt on your food. Then take the food out and enjoy that hangi!
