Best ever... made this for tea last night while my parents were staying. They said it tasted just like the real thing! It was delicious, even the kids enjoyed it. Now my mum is going to try it when she gets home. Thanks to the original poster for this great idea:)

Righto. . have been out to buy a crockpot yesterday, filled it up today, have used chicken piece's & afew lamb hocks for the meat (b/f insisted), pototoes, kumara & pumkin covered with cabbage, had no room for stuffing, hardly had room for cabbage & it's a 6. 5litre crockpot biggest i could find lol... will post update on how it turns out! Carn't wait. Have also been online & ordered the liquid smoke for next time, all thing's in moderation wont hurt you i reckon ;-)

Yep we had 1 done in the oven tray last week, a mate cooked it for us & omg that was yummo to, feed our house(4), my old lady's(3), my old man's(2) & b/f's grandfather(we took him over a plate made up)! ! !

no1niki - glad it worked out well. Yet to do the lamb this way. My brother makes his in a lidded roasting pan like Pepa.
Sprinkles a cpl Tb juniper berries, sawdust & charcoal in the bottom. He uses a cake rack to cook the food on, covers the lot with taro leaves then foil & the lid for a snug fit. He makes a lot more the oven way, so as to theoretically save having to cook the next day.
Crockpot is only enough for a couple of people, unless you have one of those huge slow cookers on the market now.

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.

The dark bits are where the cabbage scorched on the sides of the pot, and on the chicken its where the Liquid Smoke stained the meat. It smells good!
I had it on High from 11am, added cabbage about 1pm, a little at a time as it didnt fit with the lid on. So as it wilted, I added a few more leaves. I think it was done at like 2:30pm, Ive had it on low since then to keep it warm.

hehe! The liquid smoke gave it a nice smoky touch, I got one of those $2. 50 packs off here and used one of them. I have another CPH cooking today, everyone loved it last week so looks like it might become a Sunday meal instead of a roast. Its cheaper too!
