Introduction
A traditional New Zealand Māori feast cooked underground using heated stones. This hāngī features freshly caught ocean seafood like rock lobster (crayfish), mussels, and fish, alongside pork, chicken, cabbage, and traditional sides.
Step 1
Catch and harvest fresh seafood including fish, rock lobster (crayfish), and sea urchin directly from the ocean.
Step 2
Dig a large pit in the ground and build a wood fire over volcanic stones until the stones are white-hot.
Step 3
Pack the prepared meats, seafood, cabbage, and vegetables into wire baskets wrapped in foil or cabbage leaves. Place the baskets over the hot stones, cover with wet cloth/sacks, and completely bury with dirt to seal in the steam.
Step 4
Allow the food to steam underground for several hours, then carefully shovel away the dirt and retrieve the steaming baskets.
Step 5
Portion and serve the feast, finishing the hot crayfish with herb butter and serving alongside the steamed meats, cabbage, and sauces.
Ingredients List
Important Notes
Always use volcanic or river stones that do not contain moisture to prevent them from exploding when heated.
Ensure the dirt seal is completely tight so no steam escapes during the underground cooking process.
