Silika

A Silika is the Simbari tradition of cooking food in the ground. I'm going to tell you how these subterranean feasts are made.

Step 1: Gather a reasonable amount of large stones.
Step 2: Did a circular hole about a foot deep.
Step 3: Build a large fire and once it is going place the stones on top of the fire to heat them.
Step 4: Gather foods like sweet potato, tapioca root, local greens, etc.
Step 5: The stones should heat about two hours. After the stones are heated remove cinders and stones. Warning: Stones should not be used more than once because they are prone to explode sending fragments shooting everywhere.
Step 6: Arrange half of the heated stones inside the hole leaving the other half for further use.
Step 7: Take banana leaves and place over the stones in a layer.
Step 8: Place food inside the hole on top of banana leaves and cover with another layer of banana leaves followed by the remaining stones.
Final step: Cover with dirt and wait 1 and a half to two hours before uncovering.

What you get is a hole full of steaming, delicious food!
