or haangi( NEW ZELAND)the Maori method of earth-pit cooking. A wood fire is kindled in the bottom of an earth pit. then smooth stones are arranged over the embers and allowed to reach red-hot heat. Prepared joints of meat, fish, and seafood wrapped in leaves or placed in (lax baskets and finally vegetables are set on the top. Water is sprinkled in to create steam then the whole thing is sealed over with straw mats. After a prescribed cooking time (usually about two hours) the food is removed and the feasting begins.
