Al Pastor on a Rotisserie??

DanB said:

Hi All I did find the Guajillo peppers in Shop rite.
Thanks Phil..
What didn't find were the Ancho peppers.Here is a list of the peppers they did have.
Chili Morita
Chili Costeno
Chili Puya
Chili Pasilla
What would be a good substitute for the Ancho pepper. The label on the Pasilli said mild heat.My wife can't take any kind of heat.
Thanks All DanB

They also had Ground Achiote and paste? I've seen some recipes where Achiote was used?

1. Yes, it can be done on a rotisserie.


2. I have not seen a store bought marinade for Al Pastor


3. Not sure what you have on hand, so hard to determine if there's a quick one you can make.


Here's an Al Pastor roti cook I did:

And the marinade recipe:


[FONT=&quot]Al Pastor Pork Marinade[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]

[FONT=&quot]3 guajillo chiles
2 ancho chiles
1 bay leaf
1/2 cup orange juice

2 cloves garlic
2 1/2 tablespoons salt
3/4 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper
1/2 teaspoon Mexican oregano
1/2 onion, peeled and sliced thin[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]2-3 pounds boneless pork butt, sliced as close to 1/4 inch as possible[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]
[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]Combine two cups of water, the dried chiles and the bay leaf in a large pot and bring to a boil. Simmer for 5 minutes, and let stand until soft, about 5 minutes. Drain. Discard bay leaf, seed and stem chiles.[/FONT]

Quick follow-up, as I JUST made Moose's Marinade above:

Moose mentioned Pineapple Juice in the verbiage, but I didn't see it in the ingredients list. I added 1/2 cup, and it seemed about right.

DanB - The peppers noted in the recipe have lots of flavor (especially when combined with all the other goodness), but NO heat. My 3 year old sounds about like your wife on the subject, and I'm confident she'll destroy the al pastor when we cook it.

I seriously want(ed) to just stand there in the kitchen, eating the marinade with a spoon after I tasted it.
