How to Make Hangi In A Crock Pot

Prepare your parcels: For individual servings, use large pieces of banana leaves or heavy-duty aluminum foil (approximately 12x12 inches).
Layer the ingredients: Place 2-3 large cabbage leaves at the bottom of each parcel. Add 1 cup chopped vegetables (e.g., carrots, potatoes, sweet potatoes). Arrange 1 lamb chop, 1 pork chop, and 1 chicken piece on top of the vegetables. Add 2-3 slices of smoked pork and 1 golf ball-sized (approx. 1.5 oz) portion of stuffing, if desired.
Seal the parcels: Top with another 2-3 cabbage leaves. Carefully fold and tightly wrap the foil or banana leaves to completely seal the parcels, ensuring no juices can escape.
Prepare the crock-pot: Place the wrapped parcels in your crock-pot.
Add water: Pour enough water into the bottom of the crock-pot to reach about 1 inch high.
Cook: Cook on low for 6-8 hours, or on high for 3-4 hours, or until the meats are tender and the vegetables are cooked through. Cooking time will depend on the size of your meat and vegetables.
Serve: Carefully remove the parcels from the crock-pot and let them rest for 5-10 minutes before unwrapping. Serve immediately and enjoy your authentic Hangi!
