This is Hāngi, I think this is as far as Maori Cuisine gets, the process of making this makes takes hours but is very much worth it for the end result. It tastes smokey and earthy. Hāngi is very hard as you don't know if when you pull the food from out the ground if its cooked or not but you can prepare merely anything to put to cook in this style.
