We decided to take a stab at Al Pastor using our Weber Kettle and Rotisserie, as in the past, we've always griddled homemade Al Pastor. Let's watch it unfold:
Picked out a nice pork shoulder:
Unwrapped:
Meat separated from bones:
The bones were put into a pot and simmered down for many hours as a broth for the Ranch beans which were later served with the tacos.
Meat all sliced up:
Al Pastor marinade all ready(Made with all fresh ingredients, including dried Ancho and Guajillo chiles):
Poured onto meat:
At this point the meat was refrigerated for an all day marination.
About seven hours later, we threaded the rotisserie, using 1/2 an orange on each side to help keep everything nice and tight:
Onto the kettle, with coals indirect and a drop pan underneath:
About two hours later, everything still holding together:
Another 30 minutes later we pulled the meat from the kettle:
Sliced off the crispy bits first:
Then the rest:
Then The Missus started on the homemade tortillas using the Blackstone:
After the first flip:
After the tortillas were done, we griddled up all the sliced up Al Pastor meat:
And finally, tacos served, with homemade ranch beans made with broth and meat from the pork bone, plus salsa roja and homemade pico de gallo:
Let's get a closer look at that first taco:
Muy bueno! :mrgreen:
