Description
Paperbark (melaleuca bark) wrapping is an Indigenous Australian technique that creates a sealed steam environment around food while imparting a subtle smoky, tea-like flavour. The bark is soaked until pliable, wrapped around fish or meat, tied, and cooked over coals or in an oven. The earth oven (ground oven or kup-murri) is a pit lined with heated stones, layered with wet bark and leaves — the original steam oven. Both techniques cook through trapped steam and gentle, even heat.
