Hangi In The Oven?

This is the 2nd to last week for cooking which is a bit sad but at least I'll get to cook these in the future. Today we made a Hangi, which is a traditional Maori food. It's where people cook food under the ground, and steam it up. I'm not quite sure how it actually works but the food somehow doesn't taste like dirt. Since we can't do it under the ground, we are going to be cooking it in the oven. If you would like to learn how to cook it, here is your instructions.

Ingredients -
Onion
Carrot
Cabbage
Orange Kumara
Potato
Pumpkin
Chicken

Step 1 - Dice the vegetables

• Onion (Slice)
• Carrot (Square)
• Cabbage (Slice)
• Potato (Square)
• Pumpkin (Square)
• Chicken (Cut in half)

Step 2 - Put the chicken in first and top up with vegetables, spices & salt.
- Bake 180 degrees for 40 mins

Mince Gravy With Rice👌

A classic cooking people like to make, the old Mince & Rice. Calais and I made Mince & Rice, now keep in mind a lot of our cooking's have included onions right? Well, today turned out a bit bad for me, since I was the one who had to cut the onions, a tear drop or 2 came out. I found out that I am pretty sensitive to onions, but except for that happening, me and my buddy think we did a pretty good job. Here is what we made.

🍅Vegetable and Bean Paddies🍅

Not much people like vegetables and that's a fact. It either taste weird or looks weird, but if you make these paddies, it'll be something different. These paddies aren't regular paddies you buy from pak n save or mad butchers, these paddies are one of a kind so let me tell you, they taste different but really good. At first, Calais and I thought it sounded a bit weird, but it turned out to be really nice. Don't judge something by what it looks like.

Ingredients -
Butter Beans
Zucchini
Red Pepper/Capsicum
Carrot
Red Onion
Bread Crumbs
2 Eggs

Step 1 - Mash the butter beans until it looks like mashed potato.
Step 2 - Grate the Zucchini, Red Pepper & Capsicum (but it might be hard to grate it).
Step 3 - Crack your 2 eggs into the bowl of butter beans.
Step 4 - Add all your vegetables to your bowl and mix.
Step 5 - Make your paddies and put some bread crumbs on it to stop the sticking.
Step 6 - Put it in the pan and wait for it to cook.
Optional - You can make it into a burger if you want, or you could eat it by itself.
