Hangi Ingredients
- 8 banana leaves or 8 portions of tin foil
- 4 medium potatoes
- 4 sweet potatoes
- 1 medium white onion, sliced
- 1 head cabbage
- 1 small pumpkin, cut into 8 pieces
- 4 chicken thighs, cut in half
- 8 small chops, pork, beef or lamb
- 4 slices bacon, cut in half
- Prepared bread stuffing (Stovetop) rolled into 8 golf ball sized portions
- 4 sprigs of rosemary
- water
Hangi Instructions
- To make individual servings, lay out 8 banana leaves or portions of tin foil.
- Put cabbage leaves down first, then equally distribute vegetables, rosemary, meat and stuffing together on top of the cabbage.
- Put another couple of cabbage leaves over the top of the food.
- Wrap everything up in the tinfoil or banana leaves so it is encased in the cabbage.
- Roll several balls of tin foil, about 1.5-2 inches in diameter and place them at the bottom of the crock pot.
- Add water almost to the top of the foil balls. You want steam to help cook your food, but you don’t want the water to touch the packets.
- Cook on high for approximately 6-8 hours or until cooked through. Check water level about half-way through and replenish water if needed.
- Salt and pepper to taste (don’t add salt to raw ingredients, only after cooked.)
