Title: Puerco Pibil - Yucatan style pork...
Post by: wiltznucs on May 05, 2011, 05:45:01 PM

So I tried this dish with chicken while I was in the Yucatan last month.  I had to try to make it myself.  I watched the video below and off I went.  Picking up the ingredients wasn't too bad.  I found just about everything I need at a local Latin grocery store.  I was not able to find whole cumin seed and so I substituted ground cumin.  Finding the banana leaves required a bit of searching, but they can be found in the frozen section of your local Asian grocery.  I followed the recipe to the letter including grinding my own spices.  I added a bit of fresh sliced onion, Hungarian pepper, and roma tomatoes for color.

I served the pibil with fresh tortillas, pico de gallo, refried black beans, and rice.  It was superb, very tender and the taste you'll have to experience for yourself..

The recipe is here..

Its a great recipe, and fantastic for entertaining.  We had some friends over and opening the banana leaves to reveal the meat was a real treat.

All the work is up front with prepping and grinding spices.  Once the prep work is done just put it in the oven and its pretty much on auto pilot.
