Hangi |
 | | Hangi is a New Zealand Maori word for a method of cooking in an outdoor pit oven. |
| | To "lay a hangi" or "put down a hangi" involves digging a pit in the ground, heating stones in the pit with a large fire, placing wire baskets of food on top of the stones, and covering everything with earth for several hours before uncovering (or lifting) the hangi. |
| | Traditional hangi food is pork, mutton or lamb, and chicken, with generous portions of root vegetables such as kumara (sweet potato), pumpkin, carrot, potato, onions and cabbage. |
