Today we are learning about the most traditional and greatest of all foods of Aotearoa (New Zealand), a Māori hangi, which is an underground oven that’s been used in New Zealand for over 1000 years.

We’re meeting up with Rewi, better known as the Hangi Master ( https://hangimaster.co.nz/ ), who has dedicated his life to perfecting hangi cooking, and preserving his Māori cultural heritage. Again, in the words of Rewi, “you haven’t been to Aotearoa until you’ve eaten indigenous food”, and I agree. There’s nothing better than a hangi in New Zealand!

First, we went to harvest some local herbs and plants from the forest – both for cooking and for flavoring. On the menu we had chicken, lamb, pork, and mutton birds – a unique delicacy. What I loved is that Rewi seasoned everything the Māori way, using saltwater to soak the meats, and seasoning with a spicy leaf and seaweed. The hangi cooked for just about an hour and a half, and in the meantime, we devoured a fish cooked in the coals.

The basket of food came out smoldering hot, everything cooked until fall apart tender. The flavors were smokey and steamed all at the same time. And I loved how everything retained its flavor without getting dried out.

The food was amazing, and the hospitality of Rewi and his knowledge of Māori food and ingredients was a highlight.

Thanks to Rewi, Hangi Master:
