Hāngī is not an actual food but more of the traditional way in which it was prepared. It involves cooking the meal, commonly seafood, lamb, or pork under the ground where it is steamed at high temperatures. The idea is that it would be like a pressure cooker or a steamer. Once the food is thought to be done, they would just dig it out.
