Saw this recipe posted somewhere last week but have not tried it yet. Sounds good.
Puerco Pibil (Slow-Roasted Pork)
5 pounds pork butt or shoulder, cut into 2 inch cubes
banana leaves
½ C orange juice
½ C vinegar
2 T salt
juice of 5 lemons
8 cloves garlic
2 habanero peppers, chopped
1 shot tequila or mezcal per pound of meat - or to taste - use the best tequila you can find ... this is a very important ingredient, and if you use shitty tequila, it is going to affect the flavor BIG TIME!!
Personally I use a nice $45 bottle of HERRADURA REPOSADO
Annatto paste: in a coffee grinder finely grind 5 T annatto seeds, 2 tsp cumin, 1 T black peppercorns, 8 pieces allspice, and ½ tsp cloves
1. In a blender, blend annatto paste and the rest of the ingredients except banana leaves and pork.
2. In a large bowl mix pork and annatto mixture until pork is evenly coated.
3. Line a deep roasting pan with banana leaves, put the pork mixture and cover with another layer of banana leaves. Cover tightly with tin foil and bake in a 275° F oven for at least 5 hours. (about 7 hours, and the pork will just crumble apart ... Mmmmmmm!!)
**If you wish to have roasted potatoes and veggies with it, add them between the banana leaves after about the 3rd hour ...
