somebody shut me the fark up.
I've been hooked on the Netflix series, "Taco Chronicles" as of late. Last week, when switching my body over to the night shift, I watched the episodes on Suadero and Cochinita Pibil.
I talked CINCHOUSE into letting me try this with the other part of our pork butt used for souvlaki.
Couldn't find banana leaves to save my life! Checked 2 Mexi-marts, 4 grocery stores, and the DoD Commissary... not even frozen ones. Boo.
Juiced a whole bunch of oranges and limes. Added in the Recado rojo (that I could easily find... in Albertsons!), and poured it over a deeply scored pork butt.
Into the 26er with the SNS ticking along at 250-275.
Watched 4-5 YouTube videos on habañero salsas, and looked at 5-10 recipes. Picked and chose a course down the middle.
Big fan. This isn't heat-forward, but the chile sweet & fresh says, "hello!," followed by the lime tart, then the heat builds from the back of your tongue. Nice.
Also have some red onion doing a quick pickle in some orange & lime juice with salt.
It's getting hot out there. 85F. Ugh. Windows closed again.
Cochinita is at 126F on her way to about 200-205ish.
Now, we wait... and do laundry.
