Cochinita Pibil

umyaya · Jan 22, 2014

I cooked a Rick Bayless recipe for Cochinita Pibil last weekend with pickled red onions. It was amazing. Sorry, no photos…it was gobbled up too quickly. If you don't mind tracking down a few Mexican ingredients, I highly recommend trying it. My only tweak was to smoke the pork.

Here is the recipe:

I'd skip the Roasted Habanero Salsa though. I generally can handle extremely spicy food but this was too much for me.

Did you remove the seeds and the white "ribs" inside the pepper? This would make it a lot less spicy for those who cannot handle it.

Seasoning wise, that is similar to the tastes of the Pork Carnitas I make. They are cooked on the stove in a big pot of broth / water. Slow boilded for two hours covered, and then high heat lid off until the juices evaporate. Makes for very tasty, juicy, tender pork.

Goyo, I just followed the recipe which only called for de-steming and roasting before use. I have eaten street vendor food in India without a problem, but this stuff was atomic. For fun, I had a friend try a very small amount and she chased it with a gallon of milk. Good times.
