Comments
This meal is typically made in the hot springs of the Furnas by placing it in a large container and then lowering it in its pot into the holes that have been dug expressly for this purpose where it steam cooks for approximately 6 hours. To best achieve the same result, I would suggest cooking this in a crock pot and layering the items so that the potatoes are on the bottom, the meats next and the cabbages next, and then use the high setting for 4 hours, or the low setting for 8 hours.
