Serves: 2-3
Ingredients (per Hangi Package)
- 1 Chicken Drumstick
- 1 Pork Strip or Chop
- 1 Ball of Stuffing
- 1-2 Potato pieces
- 1-2 Kumara pieces
- 1-2 Carrot pieces
- 1-2 Pumpkin pieces
- 1 Large Cabbage leaf

Method
Place meat, chopped vegetables and stuffing on a cabbage leaf, season with salt and pepper, smoked paprika and spray with Manuka Smoke.
Wrap up each parcel securely in 2 layers of tin foil.
Put 6-8 small rolled-up balls of tin foil (or 2 ramekins upside-down) in the bottom of the slow cooker and pour in water to just cover the balls/ramekins.
Place your packages on top so they sit above the water. Cover with a damp tea-towel over the top of the crock pot with the sides hanging down outside and place lid on top.
Cook for 6-8 hours on low. Do not lift lid until time is up.
