Lovo

Lovo

The Fijian lovo is something that is unique to the South Pacific. The process in which lovo is made is as exciting to watch as it is to eat, the lovo contains all different kinds of foods such as; fish, chicken, pork, palusame (taro leaves containing beef  or raw fish), dalo (taro), cassava (tapioca) and uvi (yam), these are tightly wrapped in banana leave or in most cases nowadays in Fiji aluminum foil.

 The tightly wrapped foods are then placed into the lovo pit and is then covered by a layer of banana leaves later a tapeline is put over the banana leafs and hot rocks are placed on top of the tapeline and is then covered by soil. Once the food has been placed into the lovo pit and covered it can take 2 to 4 hours to cook. The taste of the food is unlike anything you’ll ever had as it is a very unique to cook.
