I thought I put a spin on Puerco Pibil(buried pork) as Seen in Once Upon A Time in Mexico. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gO8EiScBEjA
http://www.thespicehouse.com/recipes/puerco-pibil-recipe

I followed this basic recipe (substituting achiote paste for annatto seed), with the rest of the ingredients but doubled on the allspice, cumin, cloves, and pepper corns. (Be sure to taste, that’s why I opted to add more seasonings) I also added finely sliced onions before adding the meat to the pan. No Tequila, Jack Daniels instead and some beer.
I marinated the pork chunks over night and smoked it for about four hours at about 250. Then transferred to the pan and followed the recipe.
It’s recommended to serve over rice (white or Spanish), or in corn tortillas with pickled onions (recipe follows), Pico de gallo, and shredded cabbage.

Paul, I always learn from your posts. Thanks for sharing... it looks fantastic!
 
Paulmark, that looks good. How much achiote paste do you use?
Thanks JC, I used the 3 1/2 oz pkg. but be sure to add more of the spices as the achiote paste by it self is too bland IMO.:smile:
