the cuisine of french polynesia by peter r stewart - exotic italian dishes served in restaurants

Tahiti Island or French polynisia cuisine is famous for its exotic fruits, fresh fish and vegetables, which are fresh in Tahiti.
The French restaurant has a wide range of backgrounds, including the inevitable French and Tahiti, as well as China, Vietnam and Italy.
However, to taste the absolutely real Tahiti food, you need to find a way to taste ahima in the underground oven of Tahiti.
It is usually prepared on Sunday morning or for a special celebration.
First, the oven is warmed up with wood fire, and then the wood is placed on one layer, on the top of the other --crossed.
The porous volcanic rock is scattered over the wood until it is completely covered. .
When the fire is extinguished, the rock is leveled, the food is placed on the top and wrapped in a basket woven with coconut leaves.
This is how fish, pork, chicken and vegetables are done.
Banana leaves are then placed at the top, plus many layers of leaves on the purao tree to completely cover the ahima.
Finally, the Earth is shoveled on it, so there is no heat to escape, the food is baked, braised and steamed 3-4 hours.
The food of the polynicans is laid on a tablecloth of palm leaves or banana leaves.
You will remove the food from the traditional board with your fingers and dip in juicy roast pork, fish, breadfruit, taro and other goodies with coconut cream sauce.
The celebration usually ends with Polynesians dance.
Other things to pay attention to are as follows.
