how to make fijian palusami recipe - corned lamb

We had such an amazing time prepping the Fijian Palusami for our lovo feast! There are so many delicious things to eat in Fiji! Although we cooked our palusami in a traditional underground oven, you can easily recreate the recipe at home in your oven!

1. First preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
