I've done this sort of thing using oven bags with meat and veges all in the one bag and cooked slowly in the oven for hours. Yummy! Try it with different flavours, e.g., put lamb or mutton in with veges and some yoghourt and tandoori paste. Delicious! Or beef and veges with some tomato paste, mushrooms, and a little wine and stock. Its always best when the flavours are robust and the vegetables chunky.

no1niki, you made me droole so much I went to Mad Butcher but the price of lamb was too much & settled for boring ol chicken.Least he had a little watercress left & the veg shop had some cabbage.So now we'll see about your liquid smoke.Bin Inn's $2.50 doesn't seem a bad price, for smoke either.

Lol @ janny.we got our lamb hock's from the Meat Warehouse, 2 for $5 so we got 2 pack's & i brought 2kg tegal chicken drumstick's from the supermarket & used 4 piece's of them in the hangi.was soooo yummo! I saw the lamb hock's in Pak n Save other day when was in there for same price, so have a look next time your near either janny. Yeeep meat is so expensive these day's, sheesh where's all the hunter/gatherer's when ya want them lol. Yea i'm interested to see what the liquid smoke turns out like as well, so will do another this week sometime.god damn hope it turns out as we brought the 250ml bottle instead of the 100ml as worked out cheaper for more lol *bang's head on desk*. Gee didn't know you could get it from Bin Inn.i will go check our's out & see if we have it & have a sniff n see if smell's similar.

definely a must try i have been doing mine in the oven crockpot seems easier, the oven way you can freeze some for later, in tinfoil plates place what you want to eat chop,pork carrot, cabbage,potato,kumera,stuffing- just whatever you want, cover with tinfoil, in a roasting dish put some water to cover the bottom, add a dash of tea tree oil, place your plates of food in the roasting dish cover with more tinfoil cook in oven until you can smell the hangi smell

You will have to wait for coyoteblonde to answer that micky as not sure how much is in those $2.50 packs! I put about 2 teaspoon's of mine into a bowl of water like someone suggested in here & then dropped my vege's into it, then took them out when had everything org for crockpot & shook excess off & that was me.was yummo!

Hiya I been making this for ages if you buy liquid smoke it makes it even more real you just soak the potato kumara pumpkin bits in a pot of water with 1 or 2 drops of liquid smoke maybe for a couple of hours dont dry off just drop it into the cooker ;0) Yummo ! you can get it online from Zarbo .http://www.zarbo.co.nz/afaw- cs0139996/CATID=/ID=746/SID=10- 28445078/productdetails.html

Normal portion size will do, you'd just need to let it cook away for a few hours.I make mine the night before, then in the morning flick the switch on for all day.It's ready at dinner time.Otherwise cook it on high for a few hours, as previously mentioned.ENJOY!

I would love the recipe for the steamed pudding and custard too please, if someone has it to share! Oh my goodness, I'm drooling! It has to be the real Maori steamed pudding recipe please! Thanks so much.

Okay ladies and gentlemen, I have my slow cooker on with the potatoes on the bottom, a chook on top of that. Next, there's kumara and pumpkin on top of that. Then cabbage leaves, couldn't fit many in the slow cooker. My home made stuffing is on top of that, then some tin foil. Hopefully, the hangi will be ready by 6pm, as five of my children and three of my grandchildren will be here for tea. I also have more hangi cooking in the oven, have not long put it in.

Would some kind/helpful person please give me a rough estimate of how long the hangi in the oven will take to cook! I have pork chops, a small amount of potatoes, pumpkin and kumara, then I layered heaps of cabbage leaves on top. Next came the tinfoil, then the lid. I also added some cut up bacon bones to my hangi in the oven, and to the hangi in the slow cooker. I couldn't get a bacon hock, I think that bacon bones are great for a smokey flavour. That's my little tip. Thanks in advance, for any info.
